Further to our earlier missing person appeal, Marcus Smith was found safe and well in the Penrith area of Cumbria today (Friday, February 8).

Have you seen Marcus Smith?


Police are growing concerned for the 27 year old who was last seen in Preston on 1 February.


Marcus is 6ft tall, of skinny build with long curly brown hair.


He was last seen wearing camouflage trousers and a camouflage jacket. He is known to walk with a wooden staff.


As well as Preston, Marcus has links to Kendal, London, Blackburn and York.


PC Oliver Bayliff said: We’re growing increasingly concerned for Marcus’ welfare. If you’ve seen him or know where he may be, please don’t approach him but contact police instead.


“Marcus – if you are reading this appeal, please get in touch and let us know you are safe.”


Anyone with information should dial 01254 353901 or 101 quoting log number 983 of 6th February.
