Appeal to find missing man Matthew with links to Yeovil, Dorset and Bristol

Police have renewed a public appeal to help find a 40-year-old man who has been missing for almost two weeks. Officers say Matthew was last seen in Brockenhurst, in Hampshire, at about 2pm on Wednesday, June 1 after he travelled there by train from Yeovil.

Matthew is known to have links with Yeovil and Dorset, in particular, Weymouth and West Bay. He also previously lived in Bristol.

He is described as white, about 5ft 7ins, of a large build and has dark brown hair. He has a West Country accent and normally is clean-shaven, according to Avon and Somerset Police.

Officer in the case PC Victoria Doble said: “We would urge anyone to get in touch with us if they remember seeing Matthew or knows where he may be. It has been 13 days since he travelled to Hampshire.

"Matthew has not made contact with friends or family in that time and we are increasingly concerned for his welfare. Matthew, if you see this appeal, please call the police and let us know that you are safe.”
