CHESHIRE Police are renewing their appeal to the public for help in tracing a man reported missing from his home in Ellesmere Port.

Anthony Lewis, aged 63 from Whitby, Ellesmere Port was last seen on Thursday, July 5 and it is believed he may have driven to the North Wales area in his car, a silver BMW registration R92 LFM.

Inspector Richard Hill said: “We are growing increasingly concerned for Anthony's welfare his lack of contact with his family is totally out of character and I would ask anyone who may have seen him, or his car over the last couple of days to come forward and contact us.

“I would also ask Anthony himself if he is listening to this appeal to make contact with us using the 101 number or by calling in to the nearest police station.”

Cheshire Police are contactable on 101 quoting incident 871 5th July.
