Was this the gazelle on an undercover mission?

From John Laidlar's website...

COOKING THE BOOKS AT NORTHWICH

IC Cheshire reports that "Cash-strapped Northwich Vics were left reeling after their head chef scarpered with £8,000 in takings from a fundraising dinner. Paul Johnstone vanished on Saturday night after one of the club’s biggest fundraising events of the year. The theft was discovered the following morning. Chairman Mike Connett is offering a £1,000 reward for information leading to the crooked cook’s prosecution. Mr Connett said:'It’s a substantial amount, but it’s not about the money – I don’t like a thief. A lot of people have trusted him and this is for them'. Police believe Johnstone, who also goes by the name Paul Kempthorn, lied about his identity from the day he was taken on in March. After the investigation was launched officers discovered Johnstone had never lived at the address he had given when he took the job. He claimed to be 27, but also gave a date of birth in 1973. Det Sgt Simon Newell, of Northwich Specialist Investigation Unit, said: 'We think he’s given false details from the outset. He’s gained the trust of the staff there and he had the keys to the safe. We are satisfied an offence has taken place and that this person is responsible. But we need to identify who he is'". Police are reportedly searching for a man wearing a tall white hat and an apron.

wish it was me, he is def in for a pint off me


if i had of run away with the money it would have made me more popular round here than asking if we are going on the train to northwich or discussing old music
dont suppose the person/s who peaked me wants to chat about it face to face

can understand someone having a dig if they disagree with an opinion i was only trying to start a chat

my name is pete carroll i maybe there on boxing day if i am lucky but will be there on new years day if you fancy a chat over a pint if you think i am wrong, i am buying

What's the betting the chef was merely taking his wages that were owed to him?
