Appeal over whereabouts of 'upset' missing man believed to have driven to south Wales

Police are appealing for information after an "upset" missing man is believed to have left his home and travelled to the south Wales area.

Charles Tones, 62, was last seen at his home address in Cliff Avenue in Dorset at around midnight on Saturday, February 15.

He is believed to have left in his car, which is a white Citroen DS3 with a burgundy roof bearing the registration number PX63 YRP, and police think he may have travelled to south Wales.

Mr Tones is described as white, 5ft 6in tall, and of medium build with slight stubble and a bald head.

He wears glasses with a crack in them and was believed to have been wearing a brown jumper and black jeans at the time he left.

Chief inspector Andy Edwards, of Dorset Police, said: "We understand Charles has been upset recently and it is out of character for him to go off without letting his family know where he is."

How does a missing persons investigation work?

He added: "I am appealing to anyone with information as to Charles' whereabouts to please contact us immediately. I would also like to hear from anyone who sees either a man matching the description given or the vehicle detailed above.

"Finally, I would urge Charles if you see this appeal to please make contact with us or your family and let us know where you are as we all just want to make sure you are safe and well."

Anyone with information is asked to contact Dorset Police either by emailing 101@dorset.pnn.police.uk or by calling 101 quoting incident number 16:98.

UPDATE: Police later confirmed Mr Tones had been found.
