**Public Urged to Avoid Approaching Missing Individual Last Seen in Abergavenny**
Authorities in Wales are appealing for information regarding a missing man, Jamie Morgan, whose disappearance has prompted urgent warnings to the public. The 41-year-old was last seen in Abergavenny town centre around midday on Thursday, 10 July. As efforts to locate Mr Morgan intensify, police have issued a clear message: members of the public should not approach him if spotted, but should instead contact emergency services immediately.
Gwent Police released details of Mr Morgan’s last known appearance to assist in the search. Described as approximately 5ft 9in tall and of stocky build, Mr Morgan has dark, thinning hair. When last seen, he was dressed in a distinctive pink shirt, blue denim shorts, and white trainers, and was carrying a black backpack.
In a statement, a spokesperson for Gwent Police emphasised the need for caution: “If you see Jamie, please do not approach him. Instead, call 999 straight away.” The spokesperson also highlighted alternative options for passing on information. Witnesses or anyone with knowledge of his whereabouts can get in touch by messaging the police directly on social media platforms or by phoning 101, referencing the incident number 2500219522.
The exact circumstances that have led police to advise against contact have not yet been disclosed, but it is clear that ensuring public safety remains a priority as the search continues. Gwent Police have confirmed that Mr Morgan has known connections in various locations, including Merthyr Tydfil, Abergavenny, and the city of Bristol. This information may prove instrumental as officers extend their inquiries across several communities in the wider region.
The current appeal for information also includes a direct request to Jamie Morgan himself. Police have urged him to make contact to confirm his safety and well-being. It is not uncommon, in cases of missing adults, for authorities to encourage the individual concerned to reach out, either to police or a trusted family member, to help resolve concerns about their safety.
As the investigation moves forward, local communities have been asked to remain vigilant. The specifics surrounding Mr Morgan’s disappearance remain a matter for police investigation, but appeals such as this are often crucial in rapidly tracing a person’s movements. It is hoped that public awareness and cooperation will prove vital in assisting those working tirelessly to locate him.
Meanwhile, advice for the public remains clear: do not attempt to intervene or approach Mr Morgan directly. Immediate communication with the authorities is considered the safest and most effective action if he is sighted.
Cases such as this highlight the complex nature of missing persons enquiries, balancing the urgency to trace individuals with the importance of safeguarding all involved. Gwent Police and associated agencies are expected to issue further updates as new information emerges.
Anyone with potentially useful information is again encouraged to come forward, helping ensure a swift and safe resolution for all concerned.
