Police officers are appealing to the public for information that could help with their search to find Montgomery Lewis, who has been missing from Shrewsbury since December.

Police appeal to the Shrewsbury community to help find Montgomery

Montgomery, who is also known as Monty, was last seen at their home in Shrewsbury on Monday 8 December 2025. Monty was reported missing to police on Wednesday 11 February after not contacting family for some time.

Detective Inspector Tim Atherton said: “Montgomery has now been missing for several months, and we remain extremely concerned for their welfare. Despite extensive enquiries, we have not been able to locate them, and we are continuing to ask for the public’s help.

“Monty was last seen leaving their home in Shrewsbury on Monday 8 December, and we believe they may still be in the town, which is why public information is so important.

“We’re urging anyone who may have seen Monty, spoken to them, or believes they may know where they are to please get in touch.

“Monty’s family are desperate for answers, and any detail, no matter how small it may seem, could be vital in helping us find them."

Monty is described as having blonde wavy shoulder length hair, 6ft 3in tall and of a slim build.

It is believed Monty was carrying a black rucksack, and wearing a light grey padded anorak with a faux fur hood when leaving their home address.

Officers believe that Monty is still in the Shrewsbury area, and are asking the public to please call 101, quoting incident number 148i of February 11, 2026, if they know of their whereabouts.
