Fugitive gunman Raoul Moat leaves new letter

2010-07-07 736


Fugitive gunman Raoul Moat has written another letter while on the run - this time to his ex-girlfriend, police have revealed.


Detective Chief Superintendent Neil Adamson said Moat had been living rough near Rothbury in Northumbria.


The "personal" letter, found in a tent he had been hiding in in a secluded spot, re-asserted his belief that Sam Stobbart's new partner was a policeman.


DCS Adamson stressed again to Moat that the man, Chris Brown, who was shot dead at the weekend, was not a police officer.


Northumbria's temporary chief constable Sue Sim said "no stone will be unturned" as she appealed for continued support from the public. She said that while Moat was a dangerous man, officers believe his main target is the police.


Northumbria Police offered a £10,000 reward for information which leads to Moat being captured.
