POLICE APPEAL FOR MISSING GATESHEAD MAN

Police are appealing for help to find a missing man from Gateshead.

Officers are becoming increasingly concerned for 50-year-old Jonathan, who was last seen at a family address in Gateshead on June 2. He is originally from the Consett area and also has links to Bishop Auckland.

Jonathan is around five feet ten inches tall, of slim build, with dark brown shaved hair and a stubbly beard. He was last seen wearing a flat cap, a black tracksuit top with white stripes down the sleeves, cargo trousers, walking boots and carrying a rucksack.

Anyone who has seen Jonathan or knows where he may be is urged to call 999 immediately.
