POLICE are appealing for the public's help to find a man missing from his home in south Essex.

Officers say they are "working hard" to find Jamie Wilde, who is missing from Grays.

The 35-year-old was reported to Essex Police as missing yesterday and officers have been pursuing "numerous lines of enquiry".

An Essex Police spokesman said: "We now believe he has used the train network to travel to the Paddington area of London.

"We’re very concerned for his welfare."

Jamie, pictured, has short, brown hair and is wearing a navy blue hooded top, navy blue tracksuit bottoms and white trainers.

Anyone who has seen Jamie or knows where he is is urged to contact Essex Police on 101 as soon as possible.
