Saturday, 24 December 2022 16:22

Police are continuing to appeal for help in finding Russell Tomlinson who went missing in Northwich.

The 42-year-old, who was living in Northwich has not been seen since Friday 18 November.

Russell was reported missing on Saturday 19 November after his family became increasingly concerned for his welfare as they were not able to get in touch with him.

Despite an investigation into his disappearance and an extensive appeal, Russell is still missing.

At the time he went missing, Russell was believed to be wearing jeans, trainers and a black puffer padded coat. He is described as 6’3” tall with blue eyes, of a slim build and with short dark hair which is receding at the front.

Enquires have established that Russell was last seen at around 11.30pm on Friday 18 November on London Road, Northwich, near to the Deaf centre, walking in the direction of Kingsmead.

Detective Sergeant James Elliott said: “As Christmas approaches, we are continuing our appeal for help in finding Russell and are becoming increasingly concerned for his welfare.

“Officers have been carrying out a number of enquiries since he was reported missing to us and we are determined to locate Russell as soon as possible.

“We are appealing to anyone who may have CCTV in and around the Leftwich, Kingsmead, Castle, and Hartford areas on Friday 18 November, along with dashcam and smart doorbell footage to assist us in finding Russell.

“I would urge anyone who thinks that they may have seen him since he went missing to please come forward.

“I would also appeal directly to Russell to please contact us to let us know that you are safe and well.”

Anyone within any information in relation to the whereabouts of Russell is asked to contact Cheshire Police at https://www.cheshire.police.uk/police-forces/cheshire-constabulary/areas/cheshire/about-us/about-us/provide-more-information-about-an-appeal/ or call 101, quoting IML 1416611.
