Officers are asking and encouraging as many people as possible to check sheds and outbuildings.

In particular residents in the Great Sankey, Penketh, Lingley Green, Lingley Mere, Moor Lane and Cuerdeley areas.

Inspector Ruth Atherton, from Warrington local policing unit, said: “Despite extensive searches, numerous house-to-house enquiries and assistance from National Police Air Support there has been no confirmed sightings of Adam since he was reported missing.

“While we remain committed to establishing his whereabouts we need the support of the community and I am asking residents to please check their sheds and outbuildings for any signs that Adam may have been there.

“He is a vulnerable man and as each day passes his family and our officers become more concerned for his welfare.

“I would urge anyone who does see him to not approach him but to instead call us immediately on 999.”

Adam lives in Great Sankey and is known to have a number of links to the St Helens, Huyton and Knowsley areas of Merseyside.

Anyone with information or footage that may assist in the ongoing search for Adam is asked to call Cheshire Constabulary on 101 quoting IML 1187521.

Information can also be provided via the website.
