Police were “growing increasingly concerned” for a 25-year-old who has gone missing.

Ryan, who went missing from Croxley Green, was last seen at around 9am yesterday (April 7).

He was described as tall, of slim build, with dark hair and was last seen wearing grey shorts with no shirt.

Hertfordshire Constabulary also shared a picture of Ryan through their website and social media.

The force added that officers were growing increasingly concerned for Ryan’s welfare as they appealed for information about his whereabouts from the public.

Update

Police then confirmed, this morning (April 8), that they had "made initial contact with Ryan".

Helicopter report

Earlier this month, residents in the Courtlands area of North Watford reported being disturbed by a police helicopter overhead, at around 10pm to 11pm April 2.

It was later confirmed that the helicopter was out in relation to a search for a missing person.
