Family's relief as missing man found in Tenerife
- Published
A man who had been missing in Tenerife for four days has been found, his family have said.
Kris Finney, 31, of Edenfield, Lancashire, was last seen on Thursday after he flew to the Spanish holiday island from Manchester Airport.
The father-of-three was found on Monday by a shopkeeper who took him in after he was left with no money after his phone broke.
His aunt Debbie Kenyon told the BBC: "We are so relieved. We were sick with worry."
She added: "He told me his phone had broken and he had no money or way of getting in touch with us."
The electrician had arrived on the island on Thursday morning and he texted his mother to say he had arrived but his family had not been able to contact him since.
He was due to meet friends but they were staying in separate apartments.
Mr Finney had booked to stay at a hotel in Armeñime, in the south of the island, but was last seen in the Playa de las Americas resort.
Ms Kenyon, of Ramsbottom, Greater Manchester, said: "I spoke to him and he sounded a bit worse for wear through tiredness.
"Apparently he had been wandering around as his phone had broken and he had all his money and details on it."
She added: "It is such a relief that he has been located. A woman shopkeeper found him and took him in.
"We're so happy."
A Foreign Office representative previously said it had been "supporting the family of a British Man reported missing in Spain".
