POLICE are concerned for the welfare of a missing man from Hastings who may have travelled to Barnsley.

David Harrington, 58, is thought to have nothing with him other than a maroon and grey tent with yellow guy lines and a head torch.

He was last seen at about 10pm on October 14 in Hastings.

He is thought to be wearing a blue padded coat with a Union Jack and the words 'Fox and Scott' on the right sleeve, black jeans ands black boots.

David has family in Runcorn and Frodshan in Cheshire and also used to live in Barnsley. He is vulnerable and his disappearance is uncharacteristic.

PC Toby Spires, of Hastings Neighbourhood Response Team, said: "We are very concerned for him and urge him to get in touch to say he is safe and well.

"Anyone who knows where he is is asked to contact Sussex Police on 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting serial 1098 of 15/10."
