POLICE are urgently appealing for help in finding 20-year-old George Ford, who has been missing from his home in Slad Road, Stroud since around 3am on Sunday.
George, an engineering student at Nottingham University, is white, around 6ft 1ins tall, with brown, wavy shoulder length hair.
He was last seen wearing a green t-shirt with Hitchhike Morocco across the front, grey combat trousers, a brown satchel bag and black DC trainers.
Police say he was last seen walking towards Stroud town centre around 5am on Sunday morning and the police helicopter has been used as part of the search.
