Appeal For Help In Search For Missing Veteran

Police are appealing for information that could help find a missing veteran.

Former soldier Daniel Johnston, who served with the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment (PWRR), disappeared from his home in Bognor Regis on the morning of May 20.

Police believe the 35-year-old may have travelled to Hampshire. 

Chief Inspector Kris Ottery said: "We believe Daniel may have been in the Petersfield area in the vicinity of the South Downs Ways yesterday around 2.30pm.

"Were you walking, biking or driving in this area at this time and did you see Daniel?

"We are appealing to anyone with information to get in contact with us immediately by calling 999."

PWRR Regimental Secretary, Col John Powell said:

"The regiment is concerned for Daniel's welfare, and his comrades have gelled together to help the civil authorities with the search. We can only hope he is found safe and well."

The soldier was last seen by family he was staying with on Sunday.

He told his mother that he was going out but did not return and has not made contact with friends or family since. 

Daniel is described as white, six-feet tall, of medium build and with very short, shaven hair.

He was wearing a beige baseball cap, dark blue Puffa jacket, blue jeans and Asics trainers.

Daniel is heavily tattooed on both arms and his back.

One of his legs is fully tattooed with geometrical designs and 'Blues Brothers' just above his left ankle.

If you see Daniel call 999 immediately. Report information on where he may be online or call 101 quoting serial 134 of 20/5. If he requires medical treatment or is in danger, call 999 immediately.
