A POLICE appeal has been launched to help find a missing Stourbridge man.

Matthew Gill, aged 43, left his house at 9am on Friday October 6 and has not been seen since.

Police say Mr Gill did not arrive at work and his phone has been switched off.

A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: "This is out of character for Mr Gill who left without his wallet and has not contacted his partner."

Mr Gill is described as white, five feet 10 inches tall, of medium build, clean shaven with short cropped hair.

He may have been wearing a white baseball cap, tracksuit bottoms and grey slip on trainers at the time of his disappearance.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to urgently contact the police Locate team by calling 101, extension 872 3053.
