POLICE have appealed for help in tracing a 65-year-old man missing from his Hampshire home.

Edmund Jeske was last seen in the Hythe area on Saturday December 28 but officers believe he could be in Lymington or Brockenhurst. He also has links to the Marchwood and East Boldre areas.

Mr Jeske is described as 5ft 7ins tall, slim, with short, grey hair. He was wearing work clothes and green Wellington boots.

A spokesman for Hampshire Police said there is concern for his welfare.

Specialist police teams are searching for Mr Jeske and members of the public have been urged not to conduct their own searches.

Instead officers are appealing to those with any information about him to call police on 101.
