A MAN has gone missing from his County Durham home along with his dog.

Police say they are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of 42-year-old Lee Graham, from Peterlee.

He is believed to have his brown Staffordshire Bull Terrier Zoppy with him.

Mr Graham is approximately 5ft 8 inches tall, of medium to stocky build and was wearing an Adidas tracksuit top and dark jeans when he was last seen.

Anyone who sees Mr Graham or has knowledge of his whereabouts is asked to ring Durham Police, using if the sighting recent or 101 for general information.
