POLICE say they are concerned for the welfare of a missing 38-year-old man.

Darren Fixter, from Middlesbrough, has not been seen since 10.50am yesterday (Friday, December 27).

Mr Fixter is 6ft 2in tall, with dark hair in a short back and sides style.

When he was last seen, he was wearing light grey tracksuit bottoms, an oatmeal coloured funnel neck top under a camouflage jacket and dark Adidas trainers.

He is known to wear two necklaces and a wedding band.

A spokeswoman for Cleveland Police said it is believed that Mr Fixter may still be in the Middlesbrough area, and a number of officers are trying to find him as they are concerned for his welfare.

Anyone who has seen Mr Fixter is asked to contact police as soon as possible on 101.
