AN URGENT appeal has been launched to find a missing Dorset man.

Christopher Stone, who is 58 years old, was last seen in High Street, Sixpenny Handley, at around 2.20pm on Sunday, July 14.

Inspector Steve Hughes, of Dorset Police, said: “We are concerned for Christopher’s welfare as it was reported that he was very upset when he left.

“Officers are searching the area, but have not been able to find him yet.

“I am hoping that somebody may have seen Christopher since the last sighting and can help us establish where he might have gone.”

Christopher is described as five feet four inches tall, of medium build, with brown/grey hair – bald on top – and facial stubble.

He is wearing a pale grey T-shirt, black jogging bottoms, a dark green zip-up fleece or a pink jumper and black and white canvas shoes.
