A Scottish postman who ruined Christmas for others was jailed for three months.
Robert Gordon, 31, filled his car boot and garden shed with cards and presents because he felt his postbag had become too heavy. When the Royal Mail investigated complaints about missing items they found he had kept and hidden 3,506 pieces of post. Gordon was also found to have stolen 24 further letters and packages – including one he had pocketed cash from, and another containing a Playstation game.
Gordon pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to intentionally delaying 3,506 postal packets, and stealing a further 24 that were in the course of transmission between 1 April, 2006, and 17 January, 2008.
