Police are appealing for information to try and find a man who has been reported missing from home.

33 year old Gareth Parker has not been seen since the 15th January when he left his home address on Barley Cop Lane in Lancaster at around 10.00pm that evening.

When he left the house, he was wearing a thick, padded white hooded top, grey tracksuit bottoms with bright orange stripes on the sides and black trainers. He was also carrying a grey and black duffel bag, potentially containing an unknown change of clothes and some other personal belongings.

Gareth is described as white, of stocky build, with brown eyes and around five feet eight inches tall.

Sergeant Mark Turner said, “Gareth’s family are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare and so we would urge him to get in touch with either his family or the police to let someone know he is safe and well. Similarly, if anyone thinks they have seen Gareth, then we would ask them to contact police on 101.”
