Search for British tourist, 28, missing in Tenerife for two weeks
A desperate plea has been made to locate a British tourist who disappeared in Tenerife two weeks ago.
The 28-year-old, who has only been named as Gerallt, arrived on the island on July 7 but did not board his flight home to Manchester on July 12.
Officers have become ‘increasingly concerned’ for his safety as authorities in Tenerife and the British Embassy make efforts to locate him.
Gerallt is described as 5ft8in tall and has short black hair.
He was last seen wearing a navy blue tracksuit and black trainers.
North Wales Police released two pictures of Gerallt to help in efforts to identify him.
Chief Inspector Wes Williams said: ‘We are becoming increasingly concerned for Gerallt’s welfare, however officers are following several lines of investigation.
‘We are appealing for information from anyone who knows Gerallt, or who may have been contacted by him to contact us as soon as possible.
‘We’re keen to hear from anybody who believes they may have any information that could help our ongoing investigation.
‘Even the smallest lead could prove vital or for Gerallt himself to make contact to let us, or his family know that he is safe and well.’
Gerallt has vanished on the same island where Jay Slater went missing last summer, sparking a huge search effort.
Mr Slater, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, and friends had been to the NRG music festival at the Papagayo nightclub in the resort of Playa de las Americas on June 16 last year.
He left to go to an Airbnb flat near Masca in the early hours of the next morning, before setting off on the long walk back.
A coroner concluded at an inquest into his death today that the teenager died by accident after falling down a ravine.
The 19-year-old was attempting a 14-hour walk back to his accommodation from a night out drinking and taking drugs, Preston Coroner’s Court heard.
