Appeal for help in finding missing Congleton man

Thursday, 23 March 2023 10:06

Police are appealing for help in finding a 79-year-old man who has gone missing in Congleton.

David Smethurst was last seen at lunchtime at his home address in Congleton on Wednesday 22 March, but was not there when he was visited last night. He hasn’t been seen since.

He is described as 5ft 9ins tall, of slim build and tanned. He’s bald and sometimes wears glasses. He is possibly wearing jeans, a shirt and a coat.

Inspector Alan Cross said: “This is out of character for David and we are becoming increasingly concerned for David’s welfare as he hasn’t been seen since yesterday lunchtime.

“I’d urge anyone who sees David to contact us so that we can find him safe and well.”

Anyone with information should contact Cheshire Police on 101 quoting IML 1506572.
