A POSTMAN accused of stealing 8,000 parcels and £20,000 from the Royal Mail Group will not have his trial date set until next month.

Lee Holness, of Windermere Avenue, Ramsgate, is said to have stolen the packets, cash, a camera, gift cards, scratch cards and DVDs, between May 23 and 25 last year before selling them on.

The 43-year-old, who has not yet entered a plea, had his case adjourned when he appeared at Margate Magistrates Court on Monday.

Vicky Holland, defending, requested a four-week adjournment to allow for both prosecution and defence papers to be prepared and the magistrates bench agreed.

Chairman of the Bench Neil Hubbard said: "This case is not as simple as it appears and it is only fair that all information is gathered before we an continue.

"Such is the seriousness of the crime all information must be available. I am aware that the case has dragged on for a long time but I have no option but to agree with the adjournment for another four weeks."

Holness will return to Margate Magistrates Court on February 18.

At an average container fill of 200 small packets per York that's 40 Yorks.
How many Yorks does an Artic hold?
