CONCERN is growing for the welfare of a 46-year-old man who has been missing from his Kent home for nearly two weeks.

Stephen Leicester, from Borstal, near Rochester, was last seen by his family on August 8.

Police believe Mr Leicester may still be in the Borstal area, possibly sleeping rough. His family are very concerned because he may not be eating or drinking.

He is 6ft tall, of slim build, with collar-length, brown, receding hair and a full beard that is greying.

When he was last seen he was wearing a dark green polo shirt, grey trousers and a green rain jacket.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Kent Police on 01634 870055.
