THE family of a 21-year-old soldier who has been missing for over a week fear for his safety after his car was found abandoned with his possessions nearby.

Daniel Allen was last seen leaving Plymouth at 8pm on Sunday November 4. According to his cousin, he should have returned to base at Lyneham at 11pm but never showed up.

His Subaru Impreza was found abandoned near Beachy Head in East Sussex the next day with his posessions also abandoned close by. A concerning message had been sent to a friend during this time, according to his cousin Sarah Tott.

She added: “He is a loving, loyal lad. His girlfriend, parents, brother and large extended family and friends are at a complete loss as to why he has disappeared.”

Anyone who has seen Daniel or has any information on his whereabouts should contact Wiltshire Police on 101, referencing 105024.
