Friends to search for missing man

Locals are being urged to search for Mr Richards on Saturday

Friends, relatives and neighbours of a Denbighshire man who has been missing for 10 days are to stage a search for him.

Paul Richards, 49, from Cerrigydrudion, near Corwen left home on his bicycle at 1915 BST on 28 August.

A police helicopter search of his usual bike route proved fruitless.

His wife Deborah, urging locals to join a search of the nearby Clocaenog Forest on Saturday, said: "I desperately want to find Paul safe and well."

She added: "I am extremely worried and upset.

"I appeal to anyone who believes they may have seen him to contact the police immediately."

He was last seen riding a blue "Graham Weigh" road bike when he left home, and is described as being 5ft 10in tall, of slight build with short curly dark hair.

He was wearing a purple waterproof jacket, long trousers and a cycling helmet.
