NORTH Wales Police are renewing their appeal to help trace a 43-year-old man - missing for over three weeks- who has Wirral connections.

Darren Hyde, who lived in the Caernarfon area, has not been seen since Tuesday, 29th December and concern is mounting for his welfare.

He is described as being white, of slim build with grey hair and hazel coloured eyes. He has facial stubble and speaks with a Merseyside accent.

Sergeant Non Gibson from Caernarfon Police Station said: “Despite several lines of enquiry Mr Hyde has not been seen since the 29th December and we are concerned for his safety and welfare.

“We have since established that Mr Hyde has family connections on the Wirral and we are appealing for anyone who may know of his whereabouts or anybody who knows him to come forward.”

She added: “We are also appealing to Mr Hyde to make contact with officers to let them know he is safe.”

Enquiries are ongoing and anyone who may have seen Mr Hyde is asked to contact officers at Caernarfon Police Station on 101 if you are calling from Wales, or 0845 607 1001 (Welsh line) or 0845 607 1002 (English line).
