A POSTAL worker who stole vouchers and cash from letters he sorted has been spared jail.
Abhishek Harbham, of Crowland Avenue, Hayes, admitted to intercepting nine packages between October 2010 and February, and to stealing Tesco club card vouchers.
He denied taking a £20 note from a letter, and to helping himself to a gift card for the Chimes shopping centre, but he was found guilty of the offences after a summary trial.
For each offence, he was sentenced to four months in jail, suspended for two years, and 200 hours of unpaid work. The terms will run concurrently.
The 34-year-old must also pay £1200 in costs to Royal Mail.
