Police are appealing for the public’s help in tracing the kind samaritans who helped a man that was missing from Bridgnorth.

Search for kind samaritans who helped missing Burwarton man

Neil Cotgrove, 50, was reported missing on Monday 3 November from his home along the B4364 Road in Burwarton at around lunchtime.

He was found on Tuesday 4 November at around 8:40am in a field near Ludlow – 13 miles from his home. He was taken to Hereford County Hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries.

A police spokesperson said: "We are eager to speak to the kind samaritans who are thought to have helped Neil while he was missing, especially those who gave him a lift in their vehicles. We would also like to hear from anyone who saw Neil between the times of him being missing.

"Neil is 5’6" in height with short light brown coloured hair and wears glasses. At the time he went missing he was wearing a cream top with jogging bottoms and dark grey slippers. He also has two small tattoos on both arms, with one being of the Derby County Football logo and the other a small flower."

Anyone with information is urged to call police on 101, quoting incident 385 of Monday 3 November.
