Police are becoming increasingly concerned for the welfare of a missing man from Claygate.

Yuki Uwai, 31, left his home in the village at 8.30am yesterday, and was seen leaving Kingston Hospital at lunchtime.

Mr Uwai is Japanese, about 5ft 8in, slim and has black, spiky hair and grey stubble.

He was last seen wearing dark blue trousers, a T-shirt and a black fleece and he may also be wearing a denim cap.

Police said Mr Uwai was in a vulnerable state and may still be in the area driving a white VW Caddy van with the registration number PK59 UMU.

Anyone who has seen a man or vehicle matching the description or has any information on his whereabouts should call Surrey Police as a matter of urgency on 101, quoting reference P14289014.
