As WYP states in the appeal: “There are significant concerns for his welfare and officers are making enquiries to locate him.”
Further reports have confirmed that his phone was tracked to New Pudsey Station around 2pm that same day; moreover, his bank card was active as early as 6:45am this morning (Thurs, 8 May).
His most recent transaction took place in Manchester, so people in both cities and the surrounding areas are being urged to keep an eye out.
