POLICE have renewed their appeal for help to trace a man who has been missing for a week without his medication.

Joseph Anthony Farrell, 42, was last seen near Asda in St Paul's Road, Bournemouth on the afternoon of Monday November 9.

Joseph, from Blandford, is described as white, around five feet nine inches tall and of slim build with ginger hair. When he was last seen he was wearing a grey tracksuit.

Detective Sergeant Ian Allen, of Dorset Police, said: “We believe Joseph still does not have access to medication he requires so we are becoming increasingly concerned for his welfare.

“We are carrying out a number of enquiries to try and find him and I would urge anyone with information as to his whereabouts, or who sees a man matching the description given, to please contact us immediately.

“I would also make a further plea to Joseph if you see this appeal to please make contact with us or your family as we just want to ensure that you are safe and well.”

Information to Dorset Police on 101, quoting occurrence number 55200169557.
