Police are asking local residents to check outbuildings and sheds, as the search for missing Moira man Philip Porter continues.

Police say they are growing increasingly concerned for the whereabouts of the 46 year old.

Sergeant Jones said: “Philip was last seen on the Lurgan Road of Moira at around 2:15am on Thursday 5th December. He is described as 5”7 in height, with grey coloured hair and of slim build. He was last seen wearing navy blue trousers, a dark coloured jacket and a green and black shirt.

“We are asking business owners in Moira to check their yards, store rooms and premises as well as residents checking their sheds and outbuildings. Police would ask motorists who were travelling in the Moira and Magheralin areas at around 2:15am on Thursday 5th December, to review any dashcam footage they may have available that may be able to assist with our enquiries.
