Police say they are concerned for the welfare of a 23-year-old man from Suffolk who has been reported missing.

James Williamson was last seen in Bury St Edmunds at 9.45pm on Thursday, February 8.

Mr Williamson is also known by the name ‘Jimmy’.

He is described as white, with short blondish hair and a full short beard.

Mr Williamson is believed to be wearing blue jeans, black shoes and a long parker coat with fur lined hood.

A spokeswoman for Suffolk Constabulary said Mr Williamson might have a tent somewhere in the Thetford Forest.

She added: “Officers are concerned for James’s welfare and are asking anyone who has seen James or his tent, or who has any information on where he may be, to contact Suffolk police on 101 quoting CAD 364 of February 8, 2018.”
