Fears are growing for the welfare of a 24-year-old Poole man who has been missing from his home for a week.

Philip Adam Davenport, of Allens Road in Upton, was last seen by his parents at 6.30 am on Monday, January 7, when he left for work in the Creekmoor area.

Inspector Rob Snowden said: "We're becoming increasingly concerned for Philip's welfare as his behaviour is totally out of character.

"There had been no family disagreement and his parents are unable to think of any reason for their son's behaviour. They're desperate to hear from him."
