POLICE are concerned for the wellbeing of Peter Bond, who is missing and believed to be in North Yorkshire.

Mr Bond, 68, was last seen in the Acklam area of Middlesbrough on Tuesday, and his family say they are "extremely concerned" for him, is it is highly unusual for him not to have contacted them.

A police spokesman said Mr Bond regularly visits North Yorkshire, and is particularly fond of Whitby. The spokesman urged residents in Cleveland and North Yorkshire to contact Cleveland Police on 101 if they have any information on Mr Bond's whereabouts.
