POLICE are appealing for help to trace Michael Wheeler, 37, of Yeovil, after concerns for this welfare have been raised.

Officers have been unable to find Michael to check on him and it seems he has not been home or in contact with anyone since August 24.

His car was recovered after being found abandoned in the town. He has not been in touch with family or friends and has missed several regular appointments, as well as failing to appear at a court hearing for a motoring offence.

He is described as white, male, and about 6ft tall.

As part of the investigation, searches are being carried out at Ham Hill, Stoke sub Hamdon, and at addresses in Yeovil and Crewkerne.

If you have seen or heard from Michael since Saturday, August 24, or have any information about his whereabouts you are urged to contact police.

If you can help, please call 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5224244891, or complete https://www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/forms/sia?Reference=5224244891
