FRIENDS of a missing Belfast man are growing increasingly concerned over his whereabouts.
Stephen Curran, 45, has been missing for nine days.
Manchester Police are asking for the public’s help in locating Mr Curran, who lives in Chorlton but hasn't been seen at his home address since Tuesday May 17.
Mr Curran had been in contact with friends via Whatsapp until May 22, when he disappeared and failed to respond to messages.
He is described as a white man, approximately 6ft tall and of stocky build with blue eyes and short greying hair. He is originally from Belfast and speaks with a Northern Irish accent.
Prior to going missing, he had complained of pain in his lower body and was struggling to walk so he may be moving with a noticeable limp.
Anybody with information about Stephen’s whereabouts should contact police on 101 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
