Pub landlord sought over Christmas cash
Police in Wiltshire are hunting for a pub landlord after £30,000 disappeared from a Christmas fund.
According to Wiltshire Police Malcolm Levesconte, 59, was last seen at the Royal Oak pub in Shrewton, near Salisbury, on Sunday.
Levesconte, who runs the Royal Oak, had collected the cash for a Christmas thrift fund.
An appeal on the Wiltshire Police website said: “Police are aware that Mr Levesconte booked tickets and boarded a ferry at Portsmouth that evening bound for St Malo in France.
“At this stage, officers are treating this as a criminal investigation but also as a missing person enquiry.”
Police have asked that anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Mr Levesconte should contact Salisbury CID on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, where information can be left anonymously.
The website appeal added: “Anybody concerned about money they have paid in to the thrift club should contact the Royal Oak pub where their details will be recorded and passed to the police.”
