POLICE in Burnley are appealing for a man who has been reported missing from home to get in touch.

Anthony William Pepper, 38, who is also known as Tony, went missing from his home address in Lyndhurst Road, Burnley, at the beginning of December.

Now officers want him to contact either the police or his family to let them know that he is safe.

Anthony works as a window cleaner in the Accrington Victoria Hospital area, the Somerset and Dorset Road areas of Darwen and the Shorrocks Lane area of Blackburn.

A non-driver, he travels to work by train.

Police would like to hear from anyone who may have seen him recently or from Anthony himself.

They say his family are anxious to find out if he is safe, especially given the time of year.

PC Shaun Pearson from Burnley Police said: "I would appeal for anyone who may have seen Anthony to give us a call on 01282 425001.

"Alternatively, Anthony can give us a call himself or give his family a quick ring just to let us know that he is safe."
