Police say concerns are mounting for a 66-year-old Leeds man who has not been seen for two weeks, with his disappearance described as out of character.

Karl, from Kippax, was last seen on Saturday (Aug 15), when footage captured him shopping at Tesco in Allerton Bywater.

At the time, he was wearing a grey Santa Cruz T-shirt.

However, police have since found a T-shirt matching that description at Karl's home, meaning it is possible he changed his clothes after the sighting.

Karl was reported missing three days later, on Tuesday (Aug 18).

Since then, officers have been carrying out a range of enquiries in an attempt to find him, including physical searches in Kippax, Allerton Bywater and Ledston.

Police say Karl has not been seen since the Tesco footage and concerns for his welfare are growing.

He is described as 5ft 4ins tall and of medium build.

Detective Inspector Kirsty Walsh said: “We are growing increasingly concerned for Karl as time passes, as are his family. His disappearance is out of character as is his lack of contact with relatives.

"A significant number of enquires remain ongoing to locate him and we are very much still focussing our searches in the Kippax and Castleford areas.

“I would ask anyone in Kippax, Allerton Bywater and in Ledston who perhaps has a property with outbuildings to check them in case Karl has been using them to stay or sleep.

“If you any information which can help us find Karl, please contact Leeds CID on 101, or via www.westyorkshirepolice.co.uk/LiveChat
