Police have asked for help from the public in tracing a Wirral man who is missing from his home.

Colin Griffiths, 55, was last seen around 12.40pm on Wednesday (March 9) in the Bromborough area.

Colin is a 'great supporter' of Wirral CP Boxing Club in Little Sutton and club members have helped to publicise Merseyside Police's appeal.

He is described as white, 5ft 11in tall, of average build, with short greying hair and stubble.

Police said Colin wears dark-rimmed glasses and is a smoker. When last seen, he was wearing a dark blue fleece, a dark t-shirt, dark tracksuit bottoms, and tan coloured Caterpillar boots.

He has business and social associates throughout the North West.

His family are growing increasingly concerned and police are carrying out extensive enquiries to find him.

Anyone who knows where Colin is or has seen a man resembling him is encouraged to call Merseyside Police on 101, or leave information with the Missing People charity on 116 000 or by emailing 116000@missingpeople.org.uk.
