He is believed to have access to an old style silver Vauxhall Astra.

“I urge anyone in or around Winsford area who thinks that they may have seen him to get in touch with us. The same goes for anyone with any CCTV or dashcam footage which may aid our investigation.

“I also want to appeal directly to Robert, if you see this, please contact us or your family so that we know that you are safe and well.”

Anyone with information or footage that may assist officers in finding Robert is asked to call Cheshire Constabulary on 101, quoting IML 1105328 or report it via:
