“It’s now been over four days since anyone last heard from Brian and his family are really worried about him.

“Enquiries to locate Brian have been ongoing since his disappearance and as part of our investigation we’re urging anyone who thinks that they may have seen Brian, or anyone matching his description, to get in touch with us.

“I would also ask residents in the local area to review any CCTV or ring doorbells, to see if they have any footage of Brian.

The same goes for anyone with any dashcam footage which may aid our investigation.

“I would also like to appeal directly to Brian, please call us and let us know that you are OK, your family are worried about you and want you home.”
