A MAN who has mental health problems has been missing for four days.

Peter Garside, pictured here on a work identity card, has not been seen since he left his Thorpe Lane home in Almondbury on Monday evening.

The 44-year-old took a bag of clothes and a sleeping bag, but left medication he needs for his condition.

Police said Mr Garside, who has links to the Denby Dale area, is particular about his hygiene and may visit a launderette.

He is about 5ft 8ins tall and heavily built.

He has short grey hair, is unshaven, has no teeth and sports a leopard tattoo on his left arm.

He was last seen wearing a red Lee Cooper hooded top, blue Adidas tracksuit bottoms and blue Adidas Samba trainers and was carrying a black hold-all.
