A search is underway to find a Wiltshire man who has been missing for days during extreme heat.
57-year-old Richard was last seen on Tuesday, June 23, when he was seen on CCTV cameras in Devizes.
Nobody has seen him for two days, and police are becoming increasingly concerned.
His disappearance coincides with a 'red alert' heatwave where the Met Office has warned of 'danger to life' and encouraged residents to stay inside.
Officers investigating Richard's whereabouts say they believe he has travelled elsewhere in Wiltshire, and are searching in Trowbridge and Bradford-on-Avon in particular as he has links to both places.
Richard is described as being around 6ft tall, of slim build, with white hair worn in a small ponytail.
He was last seen wearing blue jeans, a red shirt, a green coat and blue trainers.
Anyone who sees him, or thinks they might have information about his whereabouts, is being encouraged to call 999 immediately.
A spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said: "Richard was reported missing from the Devizes area on Tuesday (23/06) but is believed to have travelled to Bradford-on-Avon or Trowbridge, where he has strong links.
"We are attaching a CCTV image of Richard in Devizes on Tuesday afternoon.
"If you have seen Richard or have any information that could help locate him, please call 999 immediately quoting log number 375 of yesterday's date."
