Police search for man missing after night out in Shrewsbury

Daniel Hodgin, from Madeley in Telford, failed to return from a night out with friends in Shrewsbury Town Centre on Saturday. He last spoke to his mum at 5.30am yesterday morning when she called to offer him a lift home.

Daniel is white, around 5'9" with short spiked brown hair and stubble. He was last seen wearing a grey Police polo shirt with dark blue jeans and black boots.

Daniel’s family and police are extremely concerned as his disappearance is out of character and because of the cold weather. Extensive searches in the area are being carried out by police officers and dog handlers.

Chief Inspector Tom Harding said “We are growing increasingly concerned for Daniel who has now been missing for more than 24 hours. We believe that he left the Buttermarket nightclub at approximately 3:30am and need to speak with anyone who believes they saw Daniel.

"We would urge people whilst going about their daily routine to keep a look out for anything that may assist in establishing Daniel’s whereabouts or route taken, such as clothing, belongings or anything out of the ordinary, which could help us find him.

"We’d urge people to check their garages, gardens and shed’s in case he has sought shelter from the cold."

Searches in the area are being carried out by police officers, and dog handlers. The force helicopter is also involved in the search.

Anyone who has seen Daniel or may have any information is urged to contact police on 101 quoting incident number 258 of 23 November.
