Darren Harper, 52, was believed to have left his home at Rowantree Drive, Bradford at 7.38am on Thursday (June 4).

A pre-existing medical condition makes Mr Harper vulnerable, police said.

Mr Harper is white, 5ft 8ins, with short, black hair.

He was unshaven and wearing glasses.

He was last known to be wearing black denim jeans and a dark blue shirt.

Anyone who sees Mr Harper is asked to call West Yorkshire Police on 111, or via the online reporting system, quoting log 462 of 04/06/20.
