A VULNERABLE missing man from Chard could be in Dorset, officers say.

Avon and Somerset Police are appealing for the public’s help to find Vasco Manuel Macedo, 38, a Portuguese national.

He was last seen at a relative’s address in Chard on the night of 26 May.

A spokesman for the police said: "We’re concerned for his welfare as he has learning difficulties and does not speak any English.

"Vasco Manuel is described as being of Mediterranean appearance, approximately 5ft 9ins tall and of skinny build. "He has green eyes, dark brown curly hair and a goatee beard. He is also said to have a distinctive walk as his feet point inwards."

Officers said it is believed he is wearing a black fleece with an orange zip, black tracksuit trousers and brown walking shoes.

He is known to frequent the Jocelyn Park area of Chard and Chard reservoir.

Anyone who sees Vasco Manuel is asked to call Avon and Somerset police on 999 quoting reference number 5216116200.
