Hastings Man Spared Jail After Stealing Hundreds From Post Office

Friday, 8 January 2021 11:24

By Charlotte Baker @Ch4rtweets

A man who stole almost £1,000 from an East Sussex post office where he worked in 2019 has been spared jail.

A 50-year-old man from Hastings was sentenced to a year and two months in prison, suspended for two years, at Hove Crown Court on Wednesday (January 6).

Ian Doe, of Woodlands Way, pleaded guilty to stealing £976 cash and food from the post office at Burwash in 2019.

Doe was ordered to pay £2,000 compensation to the owner of the Post Office, plus £400 costs.

In addition, he was ordered to carry out 200 hours unpaid work, 20 hours rehabilitation work, and to make a donation to Witness Care.

Doe was working as a part-time assistant at the combined post office and village shop in the village, for the Post Office Sub-Postmaster who also runs the shop.

DC Nick Arthur said:

“Ian Doe used his good standing within the community to blind people to his criminal activities, but today justice has been served with this conviction.”
