Police today issued an appeal for information about a 39-year-old Market Drayton man missing from home for more than a week.

Appeal made as Market Drayton man goes missing

Michael John Dooley was reported missing on Tuesday after he was last seen on May 21.

There is growing concern for his well-being and police are urging Mr Dooley to get in touch as a matter of urgency by calling 101.

They are also appealing to his acquaintances to make contact if they know of his whereabouts or have any other information which might help.

A West Mercia Police spokesperson said today: "There is growing concern over Mr Dooley. We are anxious to establish he is safe and well.

"Although there have been two unconfirmed sightings - in Hinstock on May 25 and Queen Street, Market Drayton on Monday - we remain concerned and are anxious to trace him. Anyone who can help should call us."

Mr Dooley is described as white, about 5ft 3ins tall, of stocky build, possibly wearing glasses and has cropped grey hair. He was last seen wearing a zip-up hoody, jeans and trainers.

He also has a number of tattoos, including tears on his face and a spider web on his neck, as well as on both arms.
