Police have launched an appeal to find a missing man who has connections to Sidmouth.

David Cauldwell, 39, from Torquay, was last seen leaving the Artful Dodger pub in Teignmouth Road, Torquay, at around midnight on Saturday, May 21.

A police spokesman said he was seen wearing dark blue jeans, grey Adidas trainers with dark blue lines and a grey jumper with Burton on the front.

The spokesman said: “He is white, around 5’11’’ tall, medium build with short, light brown hair.

“This is extremely out of character for David and police have had no sightings of David since he left the pub.

“As time goes on we are becoming more concerned for David’s safety.

“There is no indication that he has been a victim of crime but with no sightings of him and this being so out of character we really want to hear from anyone who has seen or spoken to David or perhaps has given him a lift somewhere.”

Officers have received a number of calls suggesting Mr Cauldwell may have travelled to a rave at Haldon Forest on Saturday night, but no one appears to have seen him there.

Anyone who sees David, or knows of his whereabouts, is asked to call police on 101 or email 101@dc.police.uk and quote reference 373 of 22ndMay.
