An appeal has been launched to help trace a missing man from Potters Bar.

Tansu Asar, 34, was last seen in the Duddale Hill area of Potters Bar at 12.30pm today.

He is described as being around 5ft 8ins tall, and is well built. He has olive skin and short black hair.

He was wearing a brown T-shirt, a white lightweight jacket and dark jeans.

Mr Asar also has connections in the Cheshunt area.

He suffers from diabetes and may stop off to purchase sugary drinks or sweet confectionery. Shop workers are asked to remain vigilant, and if they see him, or believe he has visited their premises, to call the police.

Sergeant Ricki Vaughan, who is investigating, said: “We are growing increasingly concerned for Tansu’s welfare. Tansu is extremely vulnerable due to health conditions, including his diabetes.

“It is completely out of character for him to go missing. Tansu – if you see this appeal please call us and let us know you are ok.”

Anyone with information is urged to call 101, and quote reference ISR 0298 of October 29.
