Police are concerned for the welfare of a man who has gone missing from St Albans – and are appealing for the public’s help to find him.

Craig Hodgson was last seen at around 12.30am this morning at the Clarion Collection Hotel in the city’s Holywell Hill.

The 41-year-old is described as white, around 6ft tall, of medium build, with short brown hair and a beard.

He was last seen wearing a dark hooded zipped jacket, white T-shirt with dark logo across the chest and dark trousers. He was carrying a black rucksack and white carrier bags.

Anyone who sees Craig or knows of his whereabouts should call police on the non-emergency number 101.
