Police are following up a new lead in the hunt for a missing vulnerable man.
They have been told that Daniel France, missing for more than a week, may have been spotted in Wyke, between Brighouse and Bradford.
Police have warned they are increasingly concerned for the safety of Mr France, a 38-year-old, single man, who was last seen in Ravens Avenue, Ravensthorpe, at 4pm on Saturday, March 12. He left behind his phone and wallet.
He is known to be a drug and alcohol user and has associated health issues, as well as being in otherwise poor health, including having deep vein thrombosis which affects his mobility.
The sighting at Upper Wyke recreation ground in Towngate was made on Wednesday, when a man resembling his description was seen.
