Thieves managed to escape with a number of parcels and police are appealing for witnesses

NEWBURY'S postal sorting office in Cheap Street was broken into overnight on Sunday.

Entry was gained by smashing a window on the side of the building and once inside a search was carried out of three rooms of the building and the contents of a number of parcels were taken.

Police were notified of the incident shortly before 5am on Monday.

Anyone with any information about this incident should contact Pc Chris Tabersham, at Newbury police station, on 0845 8 505 505 or call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Some DOs round here have MC runs coming in when we are closed, the driver has keys etc - it might be the same at that DO.

But I think your suggestion is more likely

There are always packets and parcels brought back to the office so I would assume these would have been the ones stolen (from the callers office).

Shouldn't the room of doom be locked up - especially as it's usually attached to the RLE?

Yes but if they can go through one window then they can go through another, obviously we all work in different buildings with different layouts but our callers office is just a room inside our DO.

Ditto at TN13, but it's the sliding windows that you can lock down ( which I presume are standard ) and I assumed the glass was toughened glass....mind you, it makes me think, were the windows down and locked in the first place?
