Saturday - fresh hunt for Bexhill solicitor

The fraud squad has launched a fresh hunt for a Bexhill solicitor who is suspected of running away with clients' cash.

David Rawlings disappeared eight years ago after he was charged with stealing more than 250,000 from his clients.

Rawlings, 62, became a solicitor in 1972 and was one of three partners at D. F. Rawlings and Co, of Parkhurst Road, Bexhill.

Detectives believe he may have fled to Thailand and could still be there.

Sussex Police's major fraud unit have stepped up their inquiries to find him.

Rawlings was arrested in 2000 and charged with theft and deception offences.

He was released on bail but disappeared.
