Family Pleads for His Safe Return
“Paul, you are not in trouble at all, we just want you home. Come home so we can look forward to the cricket season at Warwickshire and the rest of the season for the Blues. I will also sort out the away tickets for Hull.”
His family say they love him dearly and are extremely worried about his welfare. Officers continue extensive enquiries to track him down.
Police Seek CCTV and Witnesses
