POLICE in Pocklington are asking for help in tracing a vulnerable man who has been missing for six days.

Gary Coe left his house in Ellerton about lunchtime on November 22 telling his family he was going for a walk. But the 29-year-old has not been seen since. His bank card was found yesterday at a bank in Hull.

Officers have described Mr Coe as vulnerable because of his mental state. He requires medication, but has not taken any with him. His family has stressed that Mr Coe is not a danger to the public.

Mr Coe is white, 5'10" tall, of stocky build, with grey-blue eyes and short brown hair. His lower teeth protrude over his top teeth. He was last seen wearing a green outer coat, an orange striped shirt, blue jeans and black shoes. In the past he has been found in Doncaster, York, Malton, Scunthorpe, Bridlington and Goole.

Anyone who may know of Mr Coe's whereabouts is asked to contact Pocklington Police Station on (01759) 302174 or Beverley Police Station on (01482) 597900.
