The devastated family and friends of a man who has been missing for six weeks are urging him to come home or get in touch.

Joe Diamond was last seen at the beginning of February in Rochester and his disappearance has been reported to the police.

Now, more than a month on from when the 35-year-old was last spotted, his family have told how worried they are.

In a statement to KentOnline, the family said: “Joe if you see this, or if anyone has seen him, please contact the police.

“Our whole family is desperately worried, including our mum and your little girls who are heartbroken and just want to know you're safe. There are many people who care about you and want to help.

“If you have any information, please reach out to the police or let us know. Our family is holding onto hope and we just want to bring him home safely.”

Joe’s family have said he struggles with mental health and are concerned he’s “in a bad way”.

He has links to Rochester, Chatham, Medway, Ramsgate, Margate, as well as Manchester and London.

Joe, who is 5ft 10in, slim blonde and clean shaven, was last seen in the Rochester area on February 5.

The Medway man’s mum and his children’s mum have been trying to contact him for weeks.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to get in touch his family here and here.

Police have confirmed they received a report of the disappearance.
