When YorkshireLive approached Royal Mail for a comment, a spokesperson said that the company takes a “zero policy” approach to dishonesty.
They said: “Royal Mail has a zero tolerance approach to any dishonesty and that stance is shared by the overwhelming majority of postmen and women, who are honest and hardworking and who do all they can to protect the mail and deliver it safely.
“Royal Mail customers should be confident in our services and systems, but where we are alerted to problems, either through our own stringent checks or from information supplied by our customers, we will investigate.
“If any customer has any queries or concerns about their mail, they should contact our customer service department on 08457 740 740 or via the website: www.royalmail.com.”
