Postman caught stealing from mail
A part-time postman told Perth Sheriff Court yesterday that he began stealing money from the mail when finances became tight. William Harvey risked his 13 year employment when he opened mail from the Aberfeldy Community, before resealing envelopes with glue. Harvey said he only took only a part of the money he found as his conscience would not allow him to take it all. Harvey lost his job after stealing what amounted to little more than 100 pounds in total, and the Court ordered him to carry out 240 hours of community service.
