Used mother’s PIN number to steal £2,700 from bank account


A FORMER Langho man stole more than £2,700 from his mother’s bank account after intercepting her cash


card and PIN number. Blackburn magistrates heard


that David Matthew Rawlinson used both his mother and father's credit cards to buy foreign curren­ cy and electrical items worth £2,752. In an attempt to keep the


deceptions from his parents. Eileen and James Rawlinson, who lived in Langho, he intercepted all state­ ments when they were delivered by the postman. Rawlinson (26), of Preston New

said that in February, the balance of Mrs Rawlinson's Lloyds TSB account had been £2,796 and at around that time, she had ordered

a cash card. Mr Snape said she did not receive


the card or the necessary PIN num­ ber because they were both inter­ cepted by her son. On February 11th, he began taking money from his mother's account at various cash machines and at the same time, he intercepted the bank state­


ments. "She was unaware that anything

Charlotte is a guiding light


VISITORS to Clitheroe can now arm themselves with an attrac­ tive new shopping guide, thanks to the artistic talents of Ribbles- dale High School Technology College pupil Charlotte Metcalfe. A competition to design a shop­


ping guide showing the town's main retail area proved no trouble at all for Year 11 pupil Charlotte, who came up with the winning design, which has now been made into a leaflet. It names and locates all the main shops from Moor Lane to Church and York Streets which have Chamber of Trade members


at the helm. Her simple-to-follow map, which


signifies all of Clitheroe’s main landmarks, was a clear winner and will be ideal for people to use. Charlotte has received a book


token, and the Chamber of Trade president, Mr Stephen Pictrzak, gave the school a donation for use in its information technology


department. Our picture shows Charlotte

“IF you have long-lost fam- ily members, try to trace them", advises a Ribble Val­


ley woman. Mrs Pauline Lord, who


before retiring was connect­ ed with the long-established family firm of shoe retailers in Moor Lane, Clitheroe, has had an exciting time


recently. She has been reunited


with her half-sister, Mrs Elaine Turner, and met her half-brother, Mr John Mil­ lard, who runs a bakery in Birmingham, for the first


time. The family comes from


i \


Preston, but members lost touch after Mrs Lord's mother died. She went to live with her grandmother, and then her father remar­ ried and started another


family. She did have her half-sis­


ter, now Mrs Turner, as a playmate briefly, but fami­ ly pressures and removals


split everyone up. Mrs Turner, who is the wife of the Rector of St Martin’s Church, Jersey, the Rev. Lawrence Turner, was determined that the family should be together again. Efforts through the
