POLICE have appealed for the public's help to find a missing man from Halliwell.

Officers are searching for 41-year-old James Buckley after he 'made off' from an ambulance in Claremont Court after a medical episode.

There are concerns for Mr Buckley's welfare as he has not received the treatment he requires.

He was wearing a grey jumper, black tracksuit bottoms and black socks.

A spokesman from Greater Manchester Police said: "We hope to find James as soon as possible to ensure he gets the treatment he needs."

Anyone with any information about his whereabouts is asked to contact police on 0161 856 5821.
