Mother of missing teenager James Corfield pleads for help to find him

The family of missing teenager James Corfield have issued an appeal to find him.

Police are still searching for the 19-year-old, from Montgomery who was last seen at the White Horse public house in Builth Wells at around midnight on Monday, July 24, 2017.

Speaking on behalf of the family, James’s mum Louise Corfield said: James has still not been found, and we, his parents, brother, sister and grandma are desperate to know where he is.

"This is totally out of character of James. He is so passionate about his farm animals, and hasn’t come home to them. He would never leave them unattended, which makes us even more worried about where he is."

Superintendent Huw Meredith said: Police officers, along with support from Brecon Mountain Rescue Team and Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service, are continuing to search for 19-year-old James Corfield around Builth Wells.

We are still appealing for anyone who might have seen him late on Monday evening or during the early hours of Tuesday morning. Please ring 101 with any information you might have.

Volunteers are continuing to assist, and while we are grateful for their support, we would like to remind people not to undertake their own searches out of consideration for their own safety.

James was last seen at the White Horse public house, Builth Wells, at around midnight on Monday 24 July 2017.

He is described as being 6ft 2 inches tall, of slim build, with short brown hair. He was last seen wearing a blue Abercrombie and Fitch shirt and jeans.

James was reported missing shortly before 2pm on Tuesday, 25 July 2017, after failing to meet his family at the Royal Welsh Show, where he had been camping with friends.

Anyone with information that could help find James is asked to call police on 101. If you are Deaf, hard of hearing, or speech impaired, text the non-emergency number on 07811 311 908.
