A lottery syndicate set up by a former chairman of Spalding United FC is being investigated by police over a suspected fraud that could affect ‘several hundred’ people.
Lincolnshire Police is appealing for anyone who may have relevant information on the Spalding based The Lottery Syndicate Club Ltd.
According to Companies House, the sole director of the company set up in September 2015 is Chris Toynton.
He was also a director of Spalding United Football Club from December 2002 to May 2015.
Companies House also lists him as a director of Spalding Spread Bet Ltd.
There is no suggestion that company, or Spalding United are part of the investigation.
