TWO weeks after his disappearance, there is still no sign of a Lancaster University student who went missing on his 20th birthday.

Police have now been searching for 5ft tall English and history student Richard Preece for a little over a week.

His mobile phone and a show were found last Thursday, and the extensive search, which made use of sniffer dogs, the police helicopter and the Bowland Pennine mountain rescue team, is now being widened out.

Richard was last seen close to the Ridge Lea hospital late on Wednesday November 21. Anyone with any information about his whereabouts should contact Lancaster police on 01524 63333.
