Mail in stolen car

The postal authorities are looking into the theft last week of a postman's private car which contained mail.

The white Kia Mentor belonged to a 30-year-old woman who was delivering mail when it was stolen, sources said.

The car, they said, was parked in Paderborn Street, St Paul's Bay, and the postal worker only realised it was missing when she returned to it shortly before noon.

Maltapost, the national service provider, said it was looking into the theft, which is being investigated by the Mosta district police under the supervision of Inspector Edmond Cuschieri.
