Appeal to find man missing from home

Mark Sample, 46, left an address on Oaksham Drive in Billingham sometime before 3pm today.

It is out of character for Mark to go missing, leading officers to be concerned for his welfare.

Mark is described as 6ft tall, of medium build with short, balding very light blonde hair, no facial hair and blue eyes.

Officers say he does often wear glasses but is not believed to be wearing them today.

He was potentially wearing navy combat bottoms and a light blue polo top.

Anyone who may have seen Mark or anyone who may know of his whereabouts is asked to get in touch with Cleveland Police on 101.
