Police are appealing for the public’s help in finding a missing 39-year-old man from the Penryn area.

Lee Gilbert (pictured) was reported missing by a family member on Monday, June 13.

Lee’s family are becoming increasingly concerned for his welfare as he has not been seen since Thursday, June 9 and his disappearance is out of character.

Officers have been carrying out enquiries and searching the local area to try and find him but he has not been located so far.

Lee is described as white, 5ft 3ins in height, of medium build, with brown greying hair which is balding at the back, a beard and tattoos on both arms and legs. He has lost weight since this photograph was taken.

He may be wearing brown Karrimor hiking boots, grey cargo shorts, a blue and white short-sleeved check shirt, and carrying a small black rucksack.

Lee is thought to be on foot and is usually in and around the Penryn, Falmouth and Truro areas.

Officers would like to hear from anyone who has seen him or knows where he is.

Anyone with information is asked to email 101@dc.police.uk or call 101, quoting reference 789 of 13/06/16.

Information can also be passed anonymously to independent charity Crimestoppers, by calling 0800 555 111 or reporting online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
