Another Post box theft, Wennington/Sydney Road (Southport)

The post box on Wennington / Sydney Road has been forced open again and all of the post stolen. The theft happened at around 12.05am this morning, Thursday 14 July 2016.

A local reside told OTSNews.co.uk: “The theft was committed by two white men driving blue Fiat Punto shortly midnight.”

“It’s not the first time it’s happens either. I would say about 5 times in the las 12 months or so.”

“I think the box should be removed, it is too hidden away. It is not fair on these people who loose their post and we just blame the post office service!”
