POLICE are becoming increasingly concerned for the welfare of a man who was reported missing last week.

Tom Bruder, 58, was last seen in the Lord John pub on Monday, April 28.

All his belongings were found at his home address in London Road, Stroud and his disappearance has been described as 'out of character,' prompting officers to make an appeal to the public to be on the lookout for him.

Address checks and other inquiries remain ongoing but police are urging anyone who can help to come forward.

Tom is described as white, of slim build, with receding, unkempt brown hair and a beard. When he was last seen he was wearing a flat cap and brown zip-up jacket.

Anyone who sees Tom or knows of his whereabouts should call 101, or 999 if appropriate, and quote incident 218 of May 1.
