Sussex Police are investigating claims a man lost a lottery syndicate’s winnings.

The Tudor Tavern pub syndicate won more than £3 million in 1997.

It was front page news in The Argus at the time.

But now it has been alleged that the man the syndicate invested their money with – David Reeves – has lost it.

Mr Reeves, who is not under arrest, willingly visited Sussex Police on Friday.

A Sussex Police statement today said: “A Littlehampton man contacted local police on Friday 28 February to report matters relating to investment schemes he had been operating for some local people. Initial enquiries are being made to establish the circumstances. No arrest has been made at this stage.”
