POLICE have renewed their appeal to trace missing 68-year-old Peter Bond - after he was spotted in the centre of York.

Mr Bond disappeared from the Acklam area of Middlesbrough at around 4pm on Tuesday (July 28) and his family are growing increasingly concerned.

They say it's highly unusual for him to not to have been in contact and have released a new photo him.

He is known to regularly visit North Yorkshire, being particularly fond of Whitby, and was spotted at about 11am on Thursday in the centre of York.

Police are appealing for residents in both Cleveland and North Yorkshire to come forward should they believe they have seen him.

Any information on Peter’s whereabouts please contact Cleveland Police on the non-emergency number 101.
