POLICE are concerned about the welfare of a York man whose family have not heard from him for more than two months.

Charles Luck, 20, was last seen by relatives on June 12, when he was leaving York train station for London, intending to travel to France, North Yorkshire Police said.

He is described as white, 6'4" tall, of muscular build, with cropped light brown hair, and a tattoo of a lion and rose on his left shoulder.

He was last seen wearing a green waterproof jacket, beige chino trousers, walking boots, and carrying a backpack.

A spokeswoman for North Yorkshire Police said: "His family first called North Yorkshire Police on August 1 as they were concerned that they had not heard from him after he left to work in France on June 12.

"He told his family he would be out of contact for eight to nine weeks, due to the area where he was working. They called us again on August 13 to let us know that they had still not heard from him at the end of the nine weeks."

She added: "It has also been reported to the French authorities who have carried out local inquiries. He is believed to be in the Languedoc region, but there is no further information about where he is working/living.

"We urge anyone to contact us if they have heard from Charles."

If anybody has seen or heard from Charles phone police immediately on 101, or email general.enquiries@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk.
