Concerns grow for safety of man missing from Mansfield since end of May

Michael Dennington, 58, was reported missing from the Mansfield area on Sunday, May 31, and police are growing concerned for his safety.

A CCTV image shows the last official sighting of him obtained from King's Mill Hospital, Sutton-in-Ashfield, as he was leaving at 3.24pm on May 26.

Michael is described as being of a slim build, 5ft 2 tall, with dark brown short hair, and was last seen wearing grey jogging bottoms, white trainers and a black waist length jacket.

He has mental health issues and spends time sleeping rough and sofa surfing.

But in an emotional appeal earlier this month, his son Jason said that it's unusual for him not to speak to friends or family for this length of time.

He has links to several of the neighbouring towns and villages including Newark, Selston, Ollerton, Cliptsone, Worksop, Kirkby and Sutton-in-Ashfield, and also further afield in Cleethorpes, Glossop and Derby.

If you have seen Michael or know where he might be call police on 101 quoting incident number 0758 of May 31.

You can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Nottinghamshire Police’s Missing From Home Team has been working alongside detectives to carry out enquiries.

They also work with the Missing People charity to support runaways, missing people and their families.
