Police are searching for a man after "serious concerns" were raised for his welfare.

Avon and Somerset Police has appealed for help to trace Michael Wheeler, 37, of Yeovil.

Officers have been unable to find him and believe he has not been home or in contact with anyone since 24 August.

As part of the investigation, searches have been carried out at Ham Hill, Stoke sub Hamdon, and addresses in Yeovil and Crewkerne.
Officers said Mr Wheeler's car was found abandoned in Yeovil, he has not been in touch with family or friends and has missed several regular appointments.

He also failed to appear at a court hearing for a motoring offence, which resulted in him being wanted.

Five men are currently in police custody after being arrested on suspicion of murder.

They are aged between their late teens and late 30s, the force said.

A sixth man who was arrested last week remains on bail.

Detective Chief Inspector Lorett Spierenburg said: "We have been keeping an open mind over what has happened to Michael, who has now not been seen for a month, but we can confirm this is being treated as a murder inquiry.

"Arrests were made last week to enable us to question several individuals while under caution to understand if they knew anything that could help us locate Michael."

Sad news indeed. But at least the family can now grieve rather than not knowing, and hopefully the police investigation and post mortem will provide evidence to help in getting a conviction and taking a murderer off the streets.

Condolences to the family.
