AN INVESTIGATION is continuing into claims that mail has been stolen from Workington’s postal delivery office.

It is understood that Royal Mail launched the investigation last month following a complaint of theft at its base on Derwent Drive.

It is believed that the probe centres on allegations made about a member of staff.

Royal Mail said it would not discuss individual staff or confirm the scale of any alleged theft or other details, and there was also no comment on rumours that someone had been sacked over the allegations.

No charges have yet been brought and

The investigation does not involve the police but is being carried out by Royal Mail’s own investigators.

They have the power to conduct their own probes into allegations such as theft and decisions are then taken on a possible prosecution.

A spokesman for the Communication Workers Union said the vast majority of postal workers were honest and hardworking but unfortunately there were occasional cases of theft.

Royal Mail has asked anyone with concerns about missing mail to contact its customer services helpline on 0845 7740740.
