A POUND store boss suspected of stealing £9,500 from his shop remains on the run.
Police believe Marc Atherton has fled to Benidorm with his partner and he has now been missing for almost a month.
Management at Poundworld in the Mall shopping centre, Blackburn, reported three days’ takings stolen around January 18.
The 29-year-old has since been put on the wanted list on the police national computer.
His worried mum Carol Smith said: “I still haven’t heard from Marc and I have tried to send him messages. Whoever knows him or where he is should tell him to get in touch. I don’t think it will be long before he calls, he needs to talk.”
Blackburn town centre police are continuing with their investigation.
