Northumberland National Park

Police set up a two-mile exclusion zone and urged residents to stay indoors.

The hunt suddenly started to focus on a very pretty market town called Rothbury, right on the edge of the Northumberland National Park, a beautiful little town on the Cocut River, surrounded by glorious but pretty remote countryside that presumably Mote knew pretty well and felt that he could steer clear of the police around there and whatever game he had in mind, whatever he was doing to taunt the police at the time or to evade the police, he felt it was his best bet.

There was still no sign of Mote, but police had found an abandoned campsite in Rothbury and a dictaphone with recordings of Mote complaining how unhappy he was with the media reports about his private life.

He also made threats to the general public unless the stories stopped.
