HDNL Employee Stealing Parcels for 19 Months!
12 May, 2011 1 Comment
Have any of your parcels mysteriously disappeared while in the hands of Home Delivery Network? Well perhaps it could have been an employee of their Norwich depot who had been stealing packages for 19 months before being found out and arrested!
It seems he had a thing for Argos products HDNL were supposed to be delivering. He stole them and put them up for sale online.
He was given a 16 month prison sentence, but the real question is ‘How did he get away with stealing packages for 19 months without HDNL spotting they weren’t there?’. Surely the intended recipients complained about not receiving the items so were their complaints simply ignored? That sounds familiar.
He was ordered under the Proceeds of Crime Act to pay £1750 within six months or serve 45 days in prison on top of his 16 month sentence. In the end he received a confiscation order totalling over £1,500. Lets hope they didn’t use Home Delivery Network to pick the confiscated items up, or goodness knows where they might be!
