POLICE have renewed an appeal for a missing man to get in touch.

Edward Donnelly, 52, of Fynway, Sacriston, County Durham, was last seen by the sister, with whom he lives, at 10am on Monday.

He was also seen in Plawsworth Road, Sacriston, at lunchtime the same day and later walking by the A167.

PC Chris Knowles said: "He is believed to be suffering from depression and it is totally out of character for him to stay away from home.

"We would urge him, or anyone who has seen him, to get in touch with us."

Mr Donnelly is 5ft 8in, has a pale complexion and light brown mousy hair. He wore a green wax jacket, black jeans and trainers.

Police said he usually walked with the jacket's hood up, his head bowed and his hands in his pockets.
