A HUNT for a man who disappeared from his Newcastle home has centred on York.

Police believe Mark Fullen, 21, also known by his nickname of Boots, could be sleeping rough in the city after he went missing.

And his girlfriend Karen McCall has urged him to contact her to let her know that he's all right.

She said: "If he doesn't want to come home then that's okay, but I just want him to phone me.

"He went out on June 1 and just didn't come back. This is not like him and I am worried sick."

Mark, who is originally from Boston Spa, slept in homeless hostels in York before moving to Newcastle, said Miss McCall.

She has appealed for him to contact her on (0191) 2767633.

He is described as well-built with short mousy blonde hair, blue eyes and a beard.
