Police appeal to trace missing Leeds man Jesus Moreno

Jesus Moreno, 41, was reported as missing on 2 August.

He was found to have caught a Harrogate-bound number 36 bus from Leeds Bus Station at 6.10am on Monday, 1 August.

He got off on the A61 Harrogate Road in the vicinity of Swindon Lane, near Dunkeswick, at 6.39am.

He was seen on CCTV near Harewood Bridge at 8.14am that morning (see below).

Officers are continuing to carry out enquiries in the area to establish his movements and are due to begin searching the area.

Jesus had previously visited nearby beauty spots on the River Wharfe at Netherby, and officers are appealing for any sightings in that area.

Acting Detective Inspector John Graham, of Leeds District CID, said: “It is out of character for Jesus to be missing for this amount of time and we are concerned for his welfare.

“We are continuing to carry out enquiries to establish his movements since the last confirmed sighting on Monday morning.

“His family are anxious to hear any news and we would ask that anyone who has seen him in the area or who has any other information that could assist in tracing him contacts us immediately.

“We would ask people in the area to check their home or business CCTV or if anyone driving through the area has any relevant dashcam footage which could assist the investigation.”

Jesus is described as 5ft 7ins tall with long, dark curly hair and a beard. He was last seen wearing black jeans and a black t-shirt, and was carrying a black rucksack.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Leeds District CID via 101, quoting log 1061 of 2 August, or online via www.westyorkshire.police.uk/101livechat.
