RENEWED efforts are being made to trace a man who has been missing for 18 days.

Stephen Swanton, 33, was last seen running out of his Halliwell home on September 17.

His family are worried as his disappearance has now stretched to more than two weeks.

PC Andrea Jackson, of Bolton Central Integrated Policing Team, said: "We have had a couple of third party sightings and we have not managed to locate him and his family are getting worried."

Anyone who has any information as to Stephen's current whereabouts is asked to call police on 101.
