Search underway as concern growns for missing Shrewsbury man
A search is underway for a 29-year-old man who went missing from his home in Shrewsbury yesterday.
Police are concerned for the safety of Matthew Ki Wallace who is considered vulnerable. He was last seen at around 4pm yesterday when he left the Christian Centre in Castle Foregate where he has been staying.
Officers made an immediate search of the town centre and surrounding areas but found no trace. They have continued searching throughout the night and have issued an appeal for information.
Inspector Scott Harris said: "We are anxious to hear from anyone who has seen Mr Wallace or who has been in telephone contact with him.
"There is growing concern for his welfare and we are anxious to establish he is safe and well. We are appealing for any information which might help the search. Call Shrewsbury police station on 101."
It's thought Mr Wallace may have initially gone to the railway station intending to catch a train to London. There is also a possibility he went to the Ditherington, Castlefields or Harlescott areas.
He is described as white, 5ft 9ins tall, clean shaven, of slim build, with short dark brown hair and walks with a limp. He is thought to be wearing a grey and blue Puffa jacket and dark dirty trousers.
