The 54-year-old is said to have links to Salford and Halifax and police believe it is possible he may have travelled to those areas.

Stuart is described as white, around 5ft 8ins tall, of slim build and ‘unkempt’ appearance, with short, grey hair and a grey beard. He was last seen wearing a blue jumper, blue shirt, grey trousers, a beige jacket and brown shoes.
