Police in Cumbria are appealing for help to find a missing man from Maryport.

Sean McAvoy, 49, was last seen in Workington on the morning of 5 February, and officers say they are concerned for his welfare.

He is described as white, around 5ft 7in tall, with a stocky build, short brown hair and stubble.

When he was last seen, Sean was wearing a grey bobble hat, a blue Adidas zip-up tracksuit top and black tracksuit bottoms.

Police say he has links to Whitehaven, Workington and Carlisle, and may have travelled to Carlisle since he was last seen.

Anyone with information about Sean’s whereabouts — or Sean himself — is asked to contact police
