Can you help us find missing Connor?

We're asking for your help to find Connor Askins who is missing. 

Connor, 23, was last seen on CCTV outside the Italian Orchard, off Whittingham Lane in Broughton, Preston, at around 11:50am on Sunday (30th August).

Connor was reported missing on Friday, after last being seen in Blackpool at around lunchtime on 28th August. He was later seen on Fleetwood Road, Greenhalgh later that day.

We believe he may be walking, and could be travelling north.

Connor was initially last seen wearing a hospital gown, but we believe he has obtained a number of items over the last few days, including grey joggers, a grey or blue shirt, a black jacket and black shoes.

We have included a picture of Connor at the end of this footage – please take a close look at his face, as he may have changed his clothing again.

Connor is described as 5ft 6in with dark hair and blue eyes.

We believe Connor may have links to Penrith and Hackney, London.

Enquiries to locate Connor and make sure he is safe are ongoing. We believe he is used to sleeping outside and may be sheltering using outbuildings or a tent.
