HAMPSHIRE and Isle of Wight Constabulary have updated its appeal for help find a missing man from Shanklin this morning (Thursday).

Michael Bond was reported missing on Monday, after a neighbour became worried for his whereabouts.

Since then, officers have been carrying out enquiries to locate the 55-year-old.

A spokesperson says police are extremely concerned for his welfare.

Police believe Michael travelled to Portsmouth on Sunday (December 18) and may now be in Central London.

Michael is described as being white, around 5ft 9ins tall, of skinny build and with long dark but greying hair (just about long enough for a pony tail) and a chin length dark but greying beard. He may have glasses on, but does not wear them all the time.

He is potentially wearing either a grey suit and/or a tan leather jacket.

If you have seen Michael, or have any information on his whereabouts, please call 101, quoting the reference number 44220509926.
