Post van stolen during delivery rounds

A DISTINCTIVE green An Post van has gone missing on a delivery round in Limerick.

A postal worker was on her rounds delivering mail in Castletroy when an opportunist thief struck. Neither the mail nor the van have been found amid speculation the thief was targeting identity documents such as passports and driving licences.

An Post spokesman Angus Lafferty said: “The post woman was delivering in the Glanntan area of Castletroy. She stepped from the van to deliver some mail and a person wearing a hoodie jumped into the van and drove off. We have not heard about the van and the gardaí at Henry Street are investigating it. This is a very serious matter.
