Police in Berkshire say they're growing 'more and more concerned' for the welfare of a missing man who hasn't been seen for nearly a month.

Dean, aged 34, was last seen between 8.30pm and 9pm on Saturday 11 November at the Starting Gate pub in Newbury.

He is described as 5ft 8ins tall, of average build and has dark blonde hair. Dean also has a tattoo of a rose on his chest, the word ‘HONEY’ on his right hand, and a sleeve tattoo on his left arm.

When Dean was last seen, he was wearing a light blue hooded top and blue jeans, white Nike trainers and a red beanie hat.

Superintendent Helen Kenny, based at Newbury police station, said:

“We are growing more and more concerned for Dean’s welfare.

“Officers have been working tirelessly over the past few weeks following the disappearance of Dean to establish his location.

“From CCTV enquiries, we believe that Dean walked from the Starting Gate pub to Northcroft Leisure Centre.

“Due to the direction of travel, we believe Dean may have continued to walk towards his home in North Sydmonton.

“Therefore, we are asking anyone in the area of Newtown Road, the A339 or the roundabouts by Tesco and Newbury College at around 9.30pm on 11 November to check your dash-cam or CCTV footage.

“We would also ask people in the local area to check your sheds, garages and gardens.

“If you have any information which could help locate him, please call 101, or report this to us via our dedicated missing persons’ portal, quoting reference 43230518718.

“If you see him, please contact us on 999.”
