North Wales Police are appealing for help in tracing a man who has been reported as missing from his Harlech home.
54 year -year-old John Howard Mitchinson, of High Street Harlech, is described as being 5ft 8 ins tall, balding, wearing a navy blue raincoat and could be wearing glasses.
Inspector Gareth Evans said that the report had been made to the police on Tuesday the 28th of December but it would appear that Mr Mitchinson was last seen mid afternoon on Boxing Day and they are anxious to hear from anyone who may have seen him since then.
He said: “We are carrying out an extensive search around the area where he was last seen with the assistance of the Mountain Rescue Team, search dogs and the police helicopter but I would like to call upon the assistance of people living locally to the High Street to check their gardens and sheds in case he has taken shelter there during the cold weather over the weekend.”
“Anyone who has any information about his whereabouts or who may have seen him is asked to contact North Wales Police as soon as possible.”
Anyone with information should contact North Wales Police on 101 (if in Wales) or 0845 6071001 (Welsh) 0845 6071002 (English) alternatively text 66767 or Crimestoppers Wales/Cymru on 0800555111.
