“We have checked all our missing person reports and circulated the details across other police forces nationally, however, this has drawn a blank so far.

“I would appeal to anyone who may recognise this description, or who may know of someone who fits this description and who may not have been seen for a while to get in touch with us through the 101 number.

“Callers should quote the reference number 0602 of August 5, 2020. It is important to us that we trace family members and haver this man returned to his family as soon as possible.
