Chef wanted over Northwich Vics theftNov 28 2007

by Dave Goodban, Mid Cheshire Chronicle

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.

:smiley:

Look’s like the players won’t be getting paid this week then! :wink:

Quite literally ‘cooking the books’, not the first time I suppose!

;D

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! At least he’s still got a sense of humour!!!

If it’s Connett’s own money that’s gone, I’d guess there’s plenty of people (Northwichers included) that would PAY a reward to their erstwhile chef for giving MC a sample from his own menu!

Must have been one hell of a fundraiser to take £8,000 CASH! and the people trusted him statement has got to go down as one of the quotes of the year…

Thats one mean take away chef ;D
