Missing man Darren found

Welshpool relatives of the Shrewsbury man who mysteriously went missing 10 days ago have breathed a sigh of relief after he was found alive last night (Tuesday).

 

Police were called to an area of Shrewsbury after being alerted by a member of the public who recognised 30 year-old Darren Flynn (left) from his ‘Missing’ posters.

 

Officers searched the Haughmond Hill area and found Darren safe but suffering from a lack of food and water just before 7pm. He has now been reunited with his family but is recuperating in the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

 

Welshpool cousin Hayley Hughes put out an appeal earlier this week through mywelshpool asking for local residents to keep their eyes peeled as Darren has strong ties with the town.

 

She broke the news that he was alive and well and has asked us to thank local residents for the support.

 

Inspector Scott Harris also praised the public’s help: “It is as a direct result of public appeals for information that Darren was found and we wish to pass on our thanks to all those who assisted our investigation.”
