Police have become “increasingly” concerned about a man who vanished last week.

Thomas Birks, 27, was last seen on Thursday January 19 at around 1pm in the Tilehurst area.

The 5ft 7ins white male was wearing a grey hooded top, black tracksuit bottoms and a blue t-shirt before going missing.

He is described as having brown hair and blue eyes.

Detective Constable Jon Nicholas said: "We are increasingly concerned for his welfare and anyone who has seen Thomas or knows of his whereabouts is asked to call 101."
