Lancashire Police have shared video footage of a missing man last seen near Blackpool.

Blackpool, Preston and Garstrang and Over Wyre Police have taken to Facebook this afternoon to share a video of a missing man they believe to be called Connor.

Asking for the public’s help in finding him, the force wrote that Connor, 23, was reported missing after being last seen in Blackpool around lunchtime of Friday, August 28.

Later that day at around 7.30pm, there was a further sighting of him on Fleetwood Road, Greenhalgh, near Ingdale Farm.

Connor is believed to be wearing a hospital gown, which he is covering with a grey/blue shirt and black coat, and black shoes.

He also is believed to be carrying a bag.

Connor, who is described as 5ft 6in with dark hair and blue eyes, may have links to Penrith and Hackney, London, and could be travelling in the direction of Preston, Kirkham or the Wyre area.

A spokesperson for the force said: “Enquiries to locate Connor and make sure he is safe are ongoing. We believe he is used to sleeping outside or is potentially sheltering in outbuildings or a tent.

“We would ask people, particularly those who live in rural locations or those out walking, to remain vigilant and report any immediate sightings of Connor to us by calling 999. It is really important you do this as soon as you possibly can, so we can quickly attend that location and make sure Connor is OK.

“If you have CCTV or dashcam that may capture Connor from the area of Greenhalgh, please also get in touch. If you have information or previous sightings, please call 101 quoting log 0364 of 28th August 2026.”
