A MAN who has been missing from home for almost six weeks may be in the North Yorkshire area, police believe.

Paul Anthony Mulhall, 65, was last seen in his home town of Morecambe, Lancashire, on July 5, and fears are growing for his safety.

He is 5ft 11ins tall, of medium build, with hazel eyes. He has short, straight, grey hair and is normally clean-shaven. When last seen, he was wearing a green fleece jacket, grey trousers and black shoes.

It is believed that Mr Mulhall is driving a silver Volvo estate, registration number D527 YCN.

Anyone who has information about his whereabouts - or Mr Mulhall - is asked to contact Lancaster police on (01524) 63333 or Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111.
