He is described as a large 6ft tall white man with short dark hair with a distinctive fringe. His front tooth is missing and he has a scar from his neck to his chest. He was last seen wearing a black coat and trousers and a black and white checked shirt.

He is from the Whitefield area of Bury and could be anywhere within Greater Manchester.
