POLICE are appealing for information from the public to help find a missing man from Crewe.

Josef Skrdlant has not been seen since he left his home in the Queens Park area of Crewe on foot at around 10am on Friday, February 19.

Police say the 51-year-old is around 5 foot 2 tall with a proportionate build. He is white with a tanned complexion and has brown eyes and black hair that is greying and receding.

When Josef was last seen he was wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and blue shoes.

Originally from the Czech Republic, Josef speaks very little English and recently moved back to Crewe from Birmingham.

Insp. Dave Levins, of Crewe Local Policing Unit, said: "This is the first time that Josef has been reported as missing to the police.

"A number of officers have been searching for him, so far to no avail, and we are becoming increasingly concerned for his welfare.

"I urge anyone in those areas or elsewhere who thinks that they may have seen Josef since he went missing to get in touch with us.

"The same goes for anyone with any information regarding his whereabouts, or CCTV or dashcam footage."

Anyone with information is asked to call Cheshire Police on 101, quoting IML 814198.
