Postman stole cash from cards, court told

A POSTMAN who stole cash from birthday cards on his rounds was caught in a sting operation mounted by An Post.

Brian Kelleher, aged 29, of 42 Boherboy Close, Lotabeg, Mayfield, Cork, came under suspicion after complaints were made to An Post at the Mail Centre in Little Island about certain post not arriving at its destination.

In court yesterday, Inspector Mary King described the operation put in place to detect what was happening.
