Police have admitted there is “growing concern” for the safety of a Huddersfield man.

Detectives trying to find Sebastian Michalak have issued a new photo of him as they become increasingly concerned for his welfare.

Mr Michalak, 31, who is known to have links to Halifax, was last seen on the morning of Friday, June 17, in Ochrewell Avenue, Deighton.

There have been no confirmed sightings of him since. He is known to have links to the Halifax area.

Mr Michalak is described as a Polish white male, 6ft and medium build. He lives and works in the Huddersfield area.

He has lived in the area for the past six months and has been working as a farm labourer.

He came to the UK more than two years ago and has relatives in the West Yorkshire area.

They have been contacted by detectives and they, too, are mystified by Mr Michalak’s disappearance.

It is understood he left behind all his belongings, including his passport and personal items, at the house in Deighton.

Det Chief Insp Ian Scott, of the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, said: “It is now a week and a half since Sebastian was last seen and he has not contacted his family.

“We are very concerned for his welfare and need to speak to him as a matter of urgency to check he is safe and well.

“Likewise, if anyone has any information about his whereabouts or thinks they might have seen him then I would urge those people to contact us as soon as possible.

“He left his wallet and personal belongings at home and this disappearance is out of character. His family are also very concerned for Sebastian’s welfare.

“We would ask anyone who has seen Sebastian or with information about his whereabouts to please contact the police. Similarly, we would ask Sebastian himself to make contact either with the police or his family to confirm that he is safe and well.”

The new photo shows Mr Michalak in the clothes he was wearing when last seen in Deighton.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Kirklees CID or Adult Safeguarding Unit via 101.
