Police in Northern Ireland have issued an appeal around a blue backpack in their search for missing Mayo man George Brennan.
The 38-year-old was last seen on 2 April in Ballycastle, Co Antrim, and his friends and family have not heard from him since.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) is assisting An Garda Síochána in their search for Mr Brennan.
While he is missing from Co Mayo, it is believed he may have links to the Causeway Coast and Glens area and the Mid and East Antrim area.
The PSNI made a specific appeal in relation to the location of a blue backpack which Mr Brennan was seen carrying.
Mr Brennan is described as being 1.9m (6’2) in height and 100kg, with brown hair and blue eyes.
He had previously been seen on CCTV in the Spar shop on Moyle Road in Ballycastle on 2 April.
At that time, he was wearing a black zip-up top, dark jeans, and runners and was carrying a blue hiking backpack.
Another sighting of him, reported to the PSNI, said he was seen with a backpack hitch-hiking at the Lisnakilly roundabout outside Limavady at around 4.45pm on Monday, 14 April.
They said they saw the man get into a white van with writing on the side that was travelling in the direction of Ballykelly.
The family is asking members of the public across the island of Ireland to share Mr Brennan’s photo and appeal widely on social media to help raise awareness.
