An urgent appeal has been launched to find a 66-year-old British man who vanished in the Costa del Sol nearly a fortnight ago.
The man, who is named as ‘Andrew JW’ in a missing persons alert, vanished after leaving his home in the southern Spanish city of Marbella on 15 August.
He drove away from the property in his black Volkswagen Golf, but has not been heard from or seen since in a move deemed “out of character” by those who know him, according to Spanish newspaper Sur in English.
Andrew left the house with his wallet and mobile phone, but his family have been unable to contact him since, according to the newspaper.
Authorities have not been able to trace his car.
