Specialist underwater team joins search for Daniel Hodgin
A specialist underwater search team from Nottinghamshire is today in Shrewsbury as the search for missing Daniel Hodgin continues.
Divers are searching an area of the River Severn close to the weir in the Castlefields area of Shrewsbury.
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.
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.
At the weekend hundreds of volunteers helped spread the word and search for Daniel.
Chief Inspector Tom Harding said: "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."
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.
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.
