A SEARCH has been launched for a Brecon man who has been missing since Monday.

Officers in Powys are very concerned for the welfare of 56-year-old James Kingsbury, who was reported missing on Monday night (October 5).

He is about 5 feet 9 inches tall, wears glasses and has grey hair. He was last seen wearing dark jeans, brown boots and a grey jumper, although may have changed clothes since.

Police believe James may be in the south Powys or south Wales valleys areas, but he also has links to Durham.

He is thought to be travelling on foot.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts or his movements over the last three days is asked to get in touch.
