Vicar on the run after church thefts conviction
South Yorkshire Police said they were working with forces across the country to find Church of England vicar Simon Reynolds, who failed to return to Sheffield Crown Court after lunch on Thursday to hear a jury find him guilty of four counts of theft.
Reynolds, 50, was convicted of keeping around £24,000 (€34,000) of fees given to him for weddings, funerals and graveyard memorials when he was priest-in-charge of All Saints Church in Darton, near Barnsley.
