WEST YORKSHIRE Police is appealing for information on the whereabouts of a missing man from Hertfordshire who they say may have travelled to West Yorkshire.

35-year-old Matthew Hall was last seen in Bishop's Stortford at 12.35pm on Friday, 9 July.

Hertfordshire Police says it is "continuing efforts to trace" Matthew, and is asking the public to call 101 if they have seen him or have any information which could assist enquiries.

Police added that if anyone is with him, or has had an "immediate sighting" of him, they should call 999.

Matthew is described as 5ft 6ins tall, of slim build and has short brown hair.

He also wears glasses which are broken and was last seen wearing a red hoody and dark trousers.

Matthew also has a black Manchester United devil tattoo on the inside of his right wrist.

He also has links to Essex, Boston in Lincolnshire and Slough in Berkshire, police say.

Detective Inspector Chris Ross, of the East Herts Local Crime Unit, said: “An extensive search of the area and woodland around Birchanger Services and open land around Sworders Field, has been carried out as we continue our efforts to trace Matthew.

"Sadly, despite the meticulous work of the search teams over the weekend, we’re no closer to finding Matthew at this time and concerns continue to grow for his welfare.

“If you have seen him or have any information about where he may have travelled to, please get in touch. Any information, no matter how seemingly insignificant, could hold the key to his whereabouts.

“We are again asking the public to assist us by checking any outbuildings or garages they have, looking at their CCTV for sightings or by reporting any signs of people who may be sleeping rough.”

If you have seen Matthew since he went missing or have information on his whereabouts, please call the non-emergency number 101, quoting ISR 323 of 10 July.

"For immediate sightings, call 999 straight away."
