A postman who claimed he stole parcels because he
was scared of open spaces and wanted to get home has been
despatched to jail today.
Glen Hoadley pinched watches, watchstraps, computer games, DVDs
and other items over a year between March 2008 and March last
year.
John Luckhurst, defending, said Hoadley, who admitted theft, was
suffering from depression caused by bereavements in his family.
“This is not someone who was stealing to have extravagant
holidays,” he told Maidstone Crown Court.
“He was not stealing to keep up with the Joneses next door.
“It was because of his increasing agoraphobia and his need to
get back home."
Judge Charles Macdonald QC jailed the former Blue Circle cement
worker for 18 weeks.
