THE police helicopter and search teams have spent the night searching for a missing 46-year-old man from Swindon.

Jason Titcombe, from The Ridge, Blunsdon, was last seen at his home address at 2.30pm yesterday afternoon.

Jason is described as slim with a shaved head and a tattoo on his left shoulder.

It is believed he's wearing a grey sweatshirt with "Penfold" written on the front, black jogging bottoms, blue trainers and a black and white cap.

Officers on the ground, the police helicopter and members of Wiltshire Search and Rescue (WILSAR), a voluntary organisation which specialises in searching for missing people, have been searching the Blunsdon area over night.

The police helicopter has just resumed its search this morning.

Sgt Lisa Draper said: "We would ask anyone who sees Jason to contact us via 999.

"His family and friends are very worried about him; also I would urge Jason to get in touch immediately if he reads or hears this appeal."
