(10 points)Police in Manchester are looking for a man who it is thought stole money from the bank where he worked. Robin Curtis has worked in the bank in North Street for ten years since he left school. Last Friday he didn’t turn up for work. The same day, the bank manager discovered that ?50.000 was missing from the safe.Mr Curtis lives alone in a flat in the city centre. His neighbours have not seen him since last Thursday. Several of them remember seeing him that evening. He was driving a new Mercedes car and he seemed in a hurry. They describe Mr. Curtis as a quiet, serious man and who seemed rather shy. Mr. Curtis is twenty-seven. He is of medium height, slim with short brown hair. He has long, thin face, blue eyes and is clean-shaven. He wears a pair of silver glasses for reading but doesn’t wear them all the time. When he was last seen by his neighbours driving away in the Mercedes, he was wearing a pair of blue jeans, a white T-shirt and a black leather jacket. Mr Curtis did not say anything to his colleagues at the bank or his neighbours about going away. They are all worried in case he has had an accident or is ill. None of them can believe that he would steal money from the bank. The police say that presently they are not accusing Mr. Curtis of stealing the money. However, they would like to interview him as soon as possible in order to make sure that he is safe. Mr. Curtis used to live in Devon when he was a boy and the police think he may have gone back to that area. The police would like anyone who has seen Mr. Curtis since Thursday to contact them immediately, either by ringing 0111-683-362 or by calling their local police station.Robin Curtis has only had one job since he left school.Friday was his last day at work.Mr. Curtis’s neighbours thought he was aggressive.Mr. Curtis didn’t like his neighbours.Mr. Curtis is rather overweight.Mr. Curtis has a beard.Mr. Curtis sometimes wears glasses.Mr Curtis’s colleagues think he stole the money.The police want to talk to Mr. Curtis.Mr. Curtis has gone to Devon.Subject 2.
