A huge search operation is ongoing in Swindon after a 19-year-old’s disappearance.

Wiltshire Search and Rescue were tasked with supporting the police in locating James Phillips, who is missing from his address in the Blunsdon area.

He was reported missing at around 10am on Friday, 15 October.

Wiltshire Police say they are “growing increasingly concerned for his welfare” and have launched a full-scale search operation.

Specially trained search volunteers have gathered at the Blunsdon House Hotel, where they are able to begin their second night search.

Earlier today, the National Police Air Service helicopter from Bristol circled the area – searching open areas, including land north of Tadpole Garden Village and south-east of Blunsdon.

It is believed he left his house in the Blunsdon area some time between midnight on Thursday and 9am on Friday morning.

Police officers have been working with Wiltshire Search and Rescue to find the 19-year-old, but despite "detailed and extensive searches", he still has not been found.

He is thought to be wearing a black suit, white shirt and black leather shoes.
