POLICE are appealing to the public for information in their search to locate a missing man last seen leaving a Durham hotel.

Mark Wallace, 32, of Sunderland was reported missing at about 10.30am on Friday morning after he was last seen leaving a hotel on Eden Terrace in Durham.

Nobody has heard from Mark since and officers are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare.

Mark is described as a white male of slim build, 6’2 tall with short light brown hair and a beard.

He is thought to be wearing a dark, possibly grey, t-shirt with shorts and it is believed he could be in the Sunderland area.

A search is ongoing to locate Mark, and police are now asking anyone who may have seen him, or know his whereabouts, to get in touch.

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting reference 316 18/06/21.
