Postman avoids prison for stealing birthday card cash

A POSTMAN who stole cash from birthday cards will not be jailed but he will have to do a lot of community service work over the next three years.

Judge Con O’Leary said the thefts by Brian Kelleher, aged 29, of 42 Boherboy Close, Lotabeg, Mayfield, Cork, were mean. “He took relatively small matters from people for whom they were big things,” Judge Con O’Leary said.

Judge O’Leary said he had targeted birthday cards for relatively small amounts of money.
