Police say there are "concerns about the wellbeing" of a missing man who disappeared in Lancaster three weeks ago.

Daniel Hives, 28, was last seen on the evening of December 10 when he left an address in City View, Sidings Close, Lancaster, close to the River Lune.

Daniel, who has links to Preston, is described as 6ft tall, of slim build, with short brown hair. He was wearing a blue Hugo Boss tracksuit and black trainers.

In the past month police have issued a number of appeals to try to find Daniel and they said "extensive searches" had taken place since his disappearance.

Ch Insp Chris Barton, of Lancashire Police, said: “Despite a significant investigation and search, we have as yet received no further information regarding the whereabouts of Daniel.

“I am aware and understand a number of people are quite rightly concerned about Daniel’s wellbeing. I want to reassure those people we are doing everything in our power to find him.

“We would encourage anyone with information about his disappearance to come forward. We would also ask anyone driving in the area of Sidings Close, around 9.30pm on December 10, who may have seen Daniel, to get in touch if you can help us.”

The Lancashire Police Dogs Unit, the Lancashire Police Drone Team, the North West Underwater Search and Marine Unit, Lancaster Area Search and Rescue, the National Police Air Service and dogs from Lancashire Fire and Rescue have all been involved in the search to find Daniel.

Anyone with information about Daniel and where he might be, please contact 101 – quoting log 0250 of December 12.
