Volunteers thanked for helping search for missing Daniel Hodgin
West Mercia Police has thanked volunteers who helped search for missing Daniel Hodgin at the weekend.
Hundreds of volunteers attended the Buttermarket nightclub on Saturday to help spread the word and search for Daniel.
Daniel Hodgin from Madeley in Telford failed to return from a night out with friends in Shrewsbury on Saturday 22 November.
He last spoke to his mum at 5.30am on Sunday 23 November 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. Extensive searches have been carried out in the area by police officers and dog handlers and West Midlands Search and Rescue have been searching the river and its banks.
Chief Inspector Tom Harding said: "I would like to thank the hundreds of volunteers who have helped us with our investigation over the weekend. Countless posters and flyers were handed out to the community, raising vital awareness of Daniel’s disappearance. We have now been able to complete the searching of the area in and around Daniel's last known location.
"We are growing increasingly concerned for Daniel who has now been missing for over a week. We believe that he left the Buttermarket nightclub at approximately 3.30am on Sunday 23 November 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."
Anyone who has seen Daniel or may have any information is urged to contact police on 101 quoting incident number 258 of Sunday 23 November.
