Concern grows as search continues for missing Shrewsbury man
Police were today continuing to search for a 36-year-old man missing from his Shrewsbury home since Friday.
Concern is mounting for Mr Simon Rothwell, of Monkmoor who was last seen at 12.30am on Friday when a taxi dropped him off in Abbotts Road after a night out.
The alarm was raised at around 7.45am the same morning when some of his personal belongings were found in the Castle Walk area, near the River Severn.
There have been no known sightings or word of him since then.
A West Mercia Police spokesperson said today: "We are continuing the search for Simon and renewing our appeal for information.
"As time goes by his family and the police are becoming increasingly concerned about his welfare. His disappearance is totally out of character and we are anxious for any information which might help in locating him."
