POLICE are renewing their appeal to help find a 56-year-old man from the Brecon area.

Dyfed Powys police are very concerned for the welfare of James Kingsbury, who was reported missing on Monday night (October 5).

He is about 5' 9" tall, wears glasses and has grey hair. He was last seen wearing dark jeans, brown boots and a grey jumper, although may have changed clothes since.

Police believe James may be in the South Powys or South Wales Valleys areas, but he also has links to Durham. He is thought to be travelling on foot.

The family of James, better known as ‘Jim’, are appealing for information to get him home two weeks after he went missing.

“Jim has been missing now for two weeks. We are desperate to know where he is,” the family said via a statement.

“This is not like him, it’s totally out of character. He is a dedicated NHS nurse and volunteers as a biker for the blood service.

“Please Jim, get in touch. We need to know you are ok. We miss you.

“If anyone has seen him or knows where he is please contact police. We just want him home.” 

Anyone with information on his whereabouts or his movements over the last two weeks is asked to get in touch.
