CONCERN is growing for a North-East man who has been missing for two days.

Daniel Moir, who is 23 and from the Fatfield area of Washington, was last seen at 8.30pm on Tuesday, October 22, when he left his home address to go for a walk.

He did not return and his family and police are becoming increasingly concerned for his welfare.

Superintendent Alan Veitch said: "It is not like Daniel to go missing like this, he hasn't before, and his family are becoming increasingly worried about him.

"Officers are speaking to people who know Daniel and following up a number of lines of enquiry in order to find him.

"I'd appeal directly to Daniel to get in touch with his family and let them know he is okay, or to come home.

"If anyone knows where he is or thinks they might have seen Daniel then I'd ask they contact police with any information straight away".

Daniel is about 5ft 5ins tall and of slim to medium build.

He has medium length brown curly hair and was last seen wearing a black hooded top with a bright green 'Monster' logo on it, dark jeans, a black t-shirt with Rubik's Cubes on it and black skater trainers with bright green laces.

Anyone with any information can call police on 101.
