POLICE are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of a man who has gone missing from Basildon.

Gary Billing, 35, described as being white and 5ft 8ins tall, was reported missing from the Whitmore Way area shortly after 1pm on Saturday.

He was last seen wearing a navy Moncler jacket with a high collar, navy blue jeans, and grey Nike trainers.

Gary, who is also broadly built, bald, and clean shaven, is not believed to have access to a vehicle.

A spokesman for Essex Police said: “We’re worried about him and need to find him to make sure he’s ok.

“If you’ve seen him, are with him, or have any information about where he is please call us on 999 quoting incident 497 of 8 January.”
