Richard Squires travelled up from Kent

Twice a week on alternative days

He had a small import/export business

Which was a front for his shady dealings

Richard did not actually live in Kent

But in Sussex in a raised town not far from Rye

He actually commuted from Ashford

Which helped him as when the police

Became aware of his nefarious deeds

He was referred to as a Kent Gentleman

Which shielded him as he lived in the neighbouring county
