AN appeal has been launched to trace a 46-year-old Crewe man after going missing from Colwyn Bay.

Stephen Christopher Carson has not been seen since February 3 and his family and friends are increasingly concerned.

Enquiries to trace him have so far proved unsuccessful with officers making enquiries around Colwyn Bay and Rhyl, where he was known to frequent, as well as in Crewe, where Stephen originates from.

North Wales Police are now appealing for help from the public.

PC Peter Colley at Colwyn Bay Police Station said: "Stephen is about 5’ 8 tall, of medium build and bald.

"He also walks with a slight limp and often wears jeans and a hoody.

"We are asking anyone who has seen Stephen or knows of his whereabouts to contact police as we are all increasingly concerned for his welfare."
