POLICE are continuing to investigate the disappearance of Northwich man Russell Tomlinson and have issued a fresh appeal for any information to help find him.

The 42-year-old went missing two week ago and was last seen at around 11.30pm on Friday, November 18, near to the Deafness Support Network building in London Road.

Russell was spotted walking in the direction of Kingsmead, but it is not believed he continued on to Leftwich or Kingsmead.

However officers have not completely ruled this out of their enquiries at this time.

An extensive search operation, which has also involved the North West Police Underwater Search & Marine Unit, has taken place to try and locate him.

Described as 6’3” tall with blue eyes, Russell is of a medium build and has short dark hair which is receding at the front. 

It is believed he may have been wearing jeans, trainers and a black puffer padded coat when he went missing.

Russell also has links to Knutsford and Alsager.

Officers investigating his disappearance have continued to provide support to Russell’s family and have investigated numerous sightings reported to police.

Inspector Jason Murray of Northwich Local Policing Unit said:"Despite an already extensive investigation and search operation since he went missing, Russell’s whereabouts are still not established.

"Officers are continuing to act on any reports which could lead to Russell being found, he still remains a missing person, and specialist search officers have been and will continue to search the local area.

"We have maintained regular contact with Russell’s family and are supporting them in this worrying time.

"Russell is a beloved son, brother and uncle and the last two weeks have been a long and difficult time for his family. 

"Our efforts will carry on to locate Russell, and I am asking any members of the public to contact us if they have any information which may help us to find him. 

"Whilst we have and will continue extensive house to house enquiries, I would ask that if anyone has a Ring doorbell or CCTV particularly in the Leftwich, Kingsmead, Castle and Hartford areas, that they check it from 11.30pm onwards on Friday, November 18, in case it has captured any critical footage that may lead us to Russell.

"We also want to take this opportunity to thank members of the public who have continued to do all they can to raise awareness of Russell’s disappearance and provide support to his family."
