“We’re keen to understand his movements from here as efforts continue to locate him. He requires weekly medication which he does not have access to and it is out of character for him not be in contact with anyone for this length of time.

“I’d ask anyone who may have seen Jamie, or a man matching his description, to report this to officer as soon as possible so we can investigate.”

Those with information are asked to contact police on 10. Quote incident number 2469 of June 30.
