Police are urging Swindon residents to check their sheds and outbuildings as part of the search effort for missing man James Phillips.
James, who is 19, was reported missing last Friday 15th October.
It is believed that he left his Blunsdon home sometime between midnight on Thursday and 9am on Friday.
Since the initial report regarding his disappearance, officers and volunteers from Wiltshire Search and Rescue (WilSAR) have been carrying out detailed and extensive searches in the Swindon area and surrounding countryside.
Despite this work, James has not been found.
Police are asking residents to familiarise themselves with the photograph of James (the clothes in the picture are not the clothes he is believed to be wearing) and asking everyone to check all sheds, garages and outbuildings.
James is described as being of mixed heritage, approximately 5 ft 10 inches tall, of slim build, with short black hair. He wears glasses and it is believed he may be wearing a black suit, a white shirt and black leather shoes.
Officers will continue to be assisted by volunteers from Wiltshire Search and Rescue once again this weekend.
James – if you are reading this appeal, we would urge you to please make contact with the police or with a friend or family member to let us know you are safe.
Anyone who knows where James might be should contact police immediately on 999 quoting log 74 of 15/10.
