POLICE have are continuing to search for a 21-year-old man and are becoming 'increasingly concerned for his welfare'.

Luke Noone, from the Islington, Blackburn, was last seen on October 15 at around 10pm in the Punstock Road area of Darwen.

He has not been seen or heard from since — extremely out of character for the young man, according to Lancashire Police.

Officers have been searching for Mr Noone for the last two weeks and say they are 'extremely worried' about him.

Police have launched a renewed appeal for anyone who has seen him, or who knows where he might be, to get in touch now.

DI Andy Horne, of Blackburn Police, said: “Luke Noone has been missing for two weeks and we are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare.

"It isn’t like him to go missing and since the last sighting of him on October 15th he hasn’t contacted any of his family or friends and he hasn’t accessed social media, so we have no idea where he may be.

“We are continuing to ask, in the strongest terms, that anybody who has seen him, heard from him or knows where he may be gets in touch with us as soon as possible.”

Anybody with information should either contact 01254353871 or 101, quoting log number 1300 of October 17.
