CONCERN is growing for a Worcestershire man missing from his home for almost a week.

Stuart Caswell, who is 34, had been staying with a friend in the Church Hill area of Redditch.

He left that house around 5pm last Saturday saying he was popping to a shop.

But he didn’t return and was later reported missing.

He is described as white, 5ft 9ins, of very slight build and having short brown hair.

He is believed to have been wearing a light grey Nike hoody, skinny dark blue jeans, a blue waterproof jacket, and dark blue Nike trainers at the time he was last seen.

“It is out of character for Mr Caswell to go missing, and he is not believed to have taken any belongings with him,” said PC Rich Britton of West Mercia Police.

“He is not believed to have a mobile phone and, as time goes on, his friends and the police are becoming increasingly concerned about his welfare.”

Anyone who thinks they may have seen him should call 101, quoting 440-s-241213.
