‘OUT OF CHARACTER’: Appeal for ‘missing’ man on Costa del Sol

THE worried family of a man who has not been seen since he left a Costa del Sol hotel have issued a public appeal to try and trace him.

Jim (James) Crawford left the Hotel Casa Consistorial in Fuengirola at 8.45am on the morning of August 2 and has not been seen since.

Brother Michael said, “We are obviously very concerned as a family as this is very much out of character for Jim.

“The British Embassy is currently providing assistance.

“The Spanish Police will not raise a case until he has been missing for 24 hours.

Michael is now pleading with friends to share the appeal for information far and wide – particularly anyone with friends or contacts in the Costa del Sol area.

If you know of Jim’s whereabouts please contact the emergency services in Spain by calling 112.
