A
Christmas Savings Club organiser, suspected of nicking £23,000 from
his friends, is still on the run.
Police
in Islington have released this image of Paul Bridges, 54, who is
wanted on suspicion of theft.
Bridges
ran a Christmas savings club for more than 50 people.
Between
November, 2016 and November, 2017 Bridges collected weekly payment
from the members who expected to be paid out before the festive
period.
Bridges
never paid out the money and admitted spending it.
He
has evaded police and his friends since.
Bridges
is described as white, around 5ft 10ins tall, with salt and pepper
hair, large build, often with a red face and wears dark rimmed
glasses.
He
has links to North East London.
Detective
Constable Darren Burt, from North Central CID, said: “The
money saved by those involved in the club was hard earned and many of
the victims are retired, leaving them stretched and at a huge loss.
“If
you know where Bridges could be please do get in touch.”
Anyone
with information should call police on 101.
To
remain 100% anonymous, call the independent charity Crimestoppers on
0800 555 111.
