A 58-year-old man on the run after failing to appear at Worcester Crown Court could have fled to Minehead, West Mercia police said this week.

They are asking for the public’s help in locating Michael Dennis Price, who went missing on Monday February 10, and is thought to be in the West Country.

Detective Inspector Mark Peters said: “Price went missing prior to a court date at Worcester Crown Court and we are very keen to locate him. Our investigation has shown that he may be in the Minehead area.

“If anyone has any information regarding Price’s whereabouts or has seen him, please contact West Mercia Police immediately on 101."
