Police say they have “growing concerns” for a high-risk missing man last seen on Anglesey yesterday (Tuesday, March 26). A major search is ongoing for the 55-year-old man named Ieuan, who went missing from the Newborough area.
The last confirmed sighting was on CCTV at 2.11pm. He was seen walking along A4080 Chapel Street, past the village car park in Newborough towards the Llanddwyn beach area.
