POLICE are trying to trace a Swedish man who has gone missing in Bournemouth.

Leif Marcus Oestlund, a 21-year-old who is known as Marcus in the UK, was last seen when he left work early on the afternoon of Thursday July 4.

At 9.20am the following day it was realised that he had not returned to his room in a hotel in Bournemouth.

Inspector Pete Little, of Dorset Police, said: “Marcus has not made contact with anyone since he went missing, however our enquiries have revealed that he may have travelled to London.

“We and his family are becoming increasingly concerned for his welfare and ask that he, or anyone who knows of his whereabouts, comes forward.

“I urge Marcus to contact us – we just need to know that you are safe and well.”

Marcus is described as white, 5ft 10ins, of stocky build, with mid-length blonde hair and blue eyes. He is right handed and has a scar on the fourth finger on his right hand.

Anyone with any information should call Dorset Police on 101 quoting incident number 05:91.
