Police locate man after concerns for safety

A MISSING Sidmouth man was found safe and well after police voiced worries for his welfare.

Officers last week said they were becoming increasingly concerned over the whereabouts of Jacob ‘Jake’ Parkes, 27, who had not been seen for days.

Mr Parkes walked out of work at a hotel in the town and had not been seen by friends or family since.

He was reported missing to police on Monday, August 9.

Police ended their search when he was found on Friday, August 13.
