Police officers searching for a missing Bournemouth man are asking for the public’s help in trying to find him.
Martin Beaton, who is 29 years old, may have left his home address in The Avenue at around 1pm today, Sunday 3 February 2019. However, the last time he was seen by a family member was at 5.30pm on Saturday 2 February 2019. The most recent contact his family had from him was by text message at 4pm this afternoon.
Martin is described as white, about five feet six inches tall, of slim build, with olive skin, close-cut dark hair and long stubble. He might be wearing light blue baggy jeans, a dark green checked shirt, a black beanie hat and a coat.
Chief Inspector Lance Cliff, of Dorset Police, said: “It was reported to us that Martin has been very upset in recent days and therefore his family is very worried about him. Officers are searching the area, including pubs in the Southbourne area as Martin indicated earlier that he had visited one. Unfortunately, we don’t know which one.
“We are concerned that Martin may come to harm and this is why we need to find him urgently to make sure he is safe and well.”
Anyone with information or knowledge as to Martin’s whereabouts is asked to contact Dorset Police at www.dorset.police.uk, via email 101@dorset.pnn.police.uk or by calling 101, quoting incident number 3:366.
