A Whitby missing man who is 39 years old has been located safe, Durham Regional Police confirmed in a November 9 update.
The service asked people to remove his image from circulation. The update changes the status of the missing-person appeal; it is not a renewed request for help finding him.
The short police post does not explain where he was found, the circumstances of his return or any further personal details. Those details have not been inferred.
All About Durham had previously reported an appeal for a 39-year-old man from Whitby. The new police confirmation is a material development, rather than another version of the original appeal.
People who shared the missing-person notice should follow the service’s request and stop circulating the image.
