CONCERNS are growing for the welfare of a man who has been missing from home for almost a week.

Mark Andrew Nicol, 29, has not been seen since 10.45am last Friday, in the Bootham area of York.

Police are growing concerned as he has health issues and is not believed to have his essential medication with him. Although It is not known where he is, he is known to have links to Sunderland.

He is described as 5ft 7in tall with a slim build and short brown hair. When last seen he was wearing a black jacket, black trousers and black shoes.

Anyone with information is asked to contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option one and pass the information to the Force Control Room.
