“If you have seen him or have any information about where he may have travelled to, please get in touch. Any information, no matter how seemingly insignificant, could hold the key to his whereabouts.

“We are again asking the public to assist us by checking any outbuildings or garages they have, looking at their CCTV for sightings or by reporting any signs of people who may be sleeping rough.”
