POLICE are becoming increasingly worried about a man missing from home.

David William Jones, 39, left his home on Chapel Lane in Birstall last Wednesday to go to a business meeting, but never returned. He was in his maroon BMW 320i, number J10 DWJ. Mr Jones is just over 6ft tall, with wavy, receding, reddish grey hair.

When last seen he was wearing a red, white and black striped long-sleeved shirt, blue jeans and brown shoes. Insp Diane Booth, of West Yorkshire Police, said: "It is out of character for him not to contact his family and for this reason we are concerned about his welfare."

Police only revealed this morning that Mr Jones was missing.
