Police recover stolen Royal Mail post trolley found dumped upside down in Ringwood after theft from New Milton

A post trolley was found dumped upside down in the New Forest after being stolen from a nearby town.

Police responded to a call-out last Friday by a member of the public, reporting the Royal Mail trolley’s discovery in Ringwood.

Investigations established it had been taken from New Milton with mail items still inside.

Local officers posted online afterwards: “The trolley and all contents have now been safely recovered and returned to Royal Mail.”

Asked by the A&T to comment on the theft and how it could be sure all post had been recovered, Royal Mail declined on the grounds investigations were ongoing.
