THE search for missing 53-year-old Mitchell West is continuing across the county. 

Police are concerned for the man who has dementia that has been missing from the Hope Corner Lane area of Taunton since 9.20pm on Tuesday (April 3). 

Mitchell is white, 5ft 8ins tall, of slim build, with blue eyes and light brown hair.

Detective Inspector Lindasy Shearlock said: "We're growing increasingly worried about Mitchell and really need the public's help.

"In particular, we're keen for residents who live on or near Hope Corner Lane in Taunton to check any outbuildings in case he has sought shelter inside.

"If you have any information which could help us please don't hesitate to contact us."
