POLICE are still looking for a man who has been missing for more than three weeks.
David Bennett was last seen by his family leaving his home in Shiney Row on Saturday, August 18.
Police say a member of the public reported seeing him in Weymouth Drive, Shiney Row, shortly after 1am on Sunday, August 19.
There have been no reported sightings of him since and officers are increasingly concerned for his welfare.
The 30-year-old is described as 5 ft 11, medium build with short brown hair possibly wearing blue jeans, a blue Barbour jacket and trainers.
Sergeant Rob Bagshaw, of Northumbria Police, said: “This is really out of character for David, and as a result, his family and police are growingly increasingly worried. David has been missing for a number of weeks now, and our efforts are ongoing to locate him and return him safely to his family.”
“However, I would ask any member of the public who has not yet come forward and has information regarding David’s disappearance, or who thinks they have seen him in the last few weeks, to get in touch.”
Mr Bennett, or anyone who might have information about his whereabouts, are asked to call 101 quoting reference 589365.
