Police say they are increasingly concerned for Matthew’s welfare, after he was last seen at around 1.15pm on Wednesday 10th May leaving an address on Horton Road in Gloucester.
It is believed that he has travelled to Bath, and enquiries suggest he was in the area of Oldfield Park earlier today, Monday 29th May.
Matthew’s lack of contact with people he knows is out of character, and there have been no confirmed sightings of him since a missing person appeal was issued on 19th May.
Inspector Ross Fidoe from Gloucestershire Police said: “We’re worried about Matthew because he is vulnerable, and we believe he doesn’t have access to his prescribed medication and his phone is turned off.
“We need to find him to ensure he’s ok, and therefore we’re urging anyone who has information on Matthew’s whereabouts to contact police.”
Matthew is described as being white, around 5ft 11ins to 6ft tall, of a medium build and has brown collar-length hair with a beard.
When last seen, he was wearing a black jacket with patterned sleeves, a black hoodie, black jeans and black trainers. He was carrying a black rucksack and may also have a patterned scarf and black woolly hat in his possession.
Matthew has links to Cheltenham, Bath and Bristol, and he may have travelled via public transport as enquiries show that he was in the area of Cheltenham train station on 10th May.
Anyone who has seen Matthew, or knows of his whereabouts, is asked to call police on 101 (requesting Gloucestershire Constabulary), quoting incident 327 of 10 May. Dial 999 if he is present at the time.
