Post office embezzler sentenced

A POST office manager who swindled more than £2500 from the safe of a tiny village post office has been ordered to carry out 240 hours of unpaid work in the community.

Dylan Lindo pocketed the cash from the post office he was in charge of in the tiny north-east Fife hamlet of Balmullo.

Lindo, originally from Belize, was responsible for gathering pouches of cash at the office for collection by security guards, but in July last year he failed to hand over a bag containing £2550 – instead keeping it for himself.
