Police at Nuneaton are appealing for the public's help in urgently tracing a 31 year old man from Nuneaton who went missing in the early hours of this morning.

James Parker was last seen at Trafford Drive, Nuneaton just after 2 am.

James's family and police are very concerned for his welfare, as he was in a vulnerable state when he left Trafford Drive and took medication with him - which if taken incorrectly could cause him harm.

Police were alerted shortly after he went missing (at 2:09 am) and since then officers have been searching the area and contacting known friends and members of his family in an attempt to find him.

Police dogs and the police helicopter are part of the search.

Mr Parker is described as around 6 feet tall, slim and with long black hair. He was wearing a yellow baseball hat, a thin black jacket, a grey sweat shirt and blue jeans.

Anyone who sees a man matching Mr Parker's description is asked to call police immediately on 999.
