NORTH Yorkshire Police is increasingly concerned for a missing man whose car was spotted in Kirkby Lonsdale.

Michael Graeme Watson, aged 41, from Skipton, has not been seen since 3pm last Monday, September 7, when he left his work at the local Mercedes-Benz garage.

His family and police are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare and are urging him to get in touch as soon as possible to confirm he is safe and well.

Michael drives a black Mercedes-Benz C-Class car, registration number YG63 KSJ.

It has been spotted in the Kirkby Lonsdale area and back to the local area in recent days, but he has not returned home, said police.

He was last seen wearing a plain white dress shirt, black trousers, Chelsea boots and a Mercedes-branded, waist-length, dark-coloured outer coat.
