POLICE have begun a poster campaign in a bid to find Paul Hyam, 78, who has been missing from his home in Pyles Thorne Close, Wellington, for more than 40 days.

Scores of police were initially involved in the search which has now been wound down.

“We’re not physically looking for him,” a police spokesman said yesterday.

Mr Hyam is described as white, with grey hair, about 5ft 10in tall and of average build.

He was last seen wearing light chinos, a long-sleeved blue shirt with tie and a blue body warmer.

If you have any information as to his whereabouts, contact Avon and Somerset Police on 101.
