POLICE have been searching the Eskdale area for a missing person who could be in Cumbria.

Paul Leggott, 49, was last seen before Christmas in the Humberside area.

He may also have been in the Doncaster area on January 4.

Following investigations, officers now believe that Mr Leggott was in the car park of Wha House, Eskdale, on January 14.

They say it is possible he may still be in Cumbria.

Mr Leggott is described as white, 5ft 10in, of slim build, with short dark hair and wears glasses.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Cumbria Police on 101.

They are also asking Mr Leggott to come forward if he sees the appeal.
