An Island postman has been spared jail after stealing thousands of letters over a near three year period.

Former Royal Mail employee Sam Ross of Wootton admitted his guilt at the Isle of Wight Crown Court to having stolen over 2500 letters plus a further 1900 items of junk mail.

Nearly 300 parcels were found by Police at Mr Ross’ home address.

Ross was sentenced to 7 months in prison, suspended for two years with 300 hours of community service and a 6 month curfew.

It still amazes me that so many parcels have gone missing and management dont no , if a had ordered a parcel and it did not turn up, i would be onto the phone to both the sender and RM
We had a new start, i trained him, he was put on my round, and the first week he was first back to the office and nobody thought that this was strange, about 4 months later he was caught with loads of mail at his house,also was allowed to use his own car These people give us a bad name and the DOM should have been sacked for not checking new starts, they should have to stay in the delivery office till new starts finish their walk.
