Brazen burglars stole a haul of parcels after sneaking into a postal depot in the dead of night, a court has heard. Craig Britton and Richard Cook took trollies and sacks full of mail away from the building, none of which have ever been recovered and it is unknown exactly what was stolen. Between them the burglars have more than 180 previous offences on their records.
Georgia Donohue, prosecuting, told Swansea Crown Court that on the night of October 28 last year three males were seen to approach the van entrance of the Royal Mail depot in Neath town centre. Two of the men, Britton and Cook, walked into the building through the open shutters and emerged moments later pushing large trollies - known as Yorkies - full of parcels, and carrying bags of parcels. The pair then made off into the night.
