A NEW Forest sub-postmoster was jailed on Friday (Jan 18) for 18 months for stealing more than £55,000 from the Post Office.
Ian Kirk, 58, who ran the post office inside Sway Newsagents, claimed he had been burgled.
Judge John Beashel told him: "There was no need to steal the money. You had a successful business and you grossly abused the trust placed in you."
