Police are appealing for the public's help in locating a vulnerable man from Reading.

Simon Rosewell, 55, was last seen at around 9.30am on January 21 in Bath Road, Reading, near junction 12 of the M4.

He was wearing a brown jacket, bright red t-shirt and dark tracksuit bottoms with grey footwear.

Simon is around 5ft 7ins tall with grey hair, brown eyes and has a broad build.

He walks with a slight stoop and shuffle with his left foot and is known to frequent restaurants and cafes in the Reading area, but also has connections in Bolton, Lancashire, and so he may be travelling north.

Investigating officer detective inspector Gavin Stiles, of Force CID at Reading police station, said: “We are becoming increasingly concerned for Simon’s welfare.

"It is thought that he is not taking urgent medication and although he does appear to have access to money, we are concerned that his lack of medication makes him extremely vulnerable at this time.

“He has a distinctive walking style and was wearing a bright red t-shirt when he was last seen.

“I am urging anybody who knows of Simon’s whereabouts, or who believes that they have seen him, to contact our 24-hour number 101, quoting URN 1427 (21/1).”
