POLICE are asking the public to check outbuildings and caravans amid growing concerns for the welfare of a Somerset man missing for more than a week.

Officers are renewing their appeal to trace Robin, believed to be sleeping rough after leaving an address in Weston-super-Mare on Thursday, January 27.

He could be anywhere in the South West and officers are concerned for his welfare as he needs regular medication.

Robin is 42 and described as white, about 6ft 6ins (2m) tall and of large build, with a shaved head.

He was wearing a black and white checked shirt, black trousers and trainers and had a grey hooded jumper with him.

They are appealing to Robin to contact his family or police on 101.

Anyone who knows where he is should call police on 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5222022181, or complete the force's online appeals form.
