A fresh appeal for information on the whereabouts of a man who has been missing for 14 years has been made by police.

Frank Whitehurst, from Moseley, Birmingham, has not been seen since he left his care home in October 2010 when he was 63.

Mr Whitehurst, who would be 77 years old now, was also known to use the alias Kenneth Horse, West Midlands Police said.

There were "no known issues or reasons" for him going missing and anyone who remembered anything should come forward, the force urged.

Mr Whitehurst was about 6ft 2in (1.88m) tall, of medium build with grey hair and brown eyes and was last seen wearing grey jogging bottoms and a dark blue sweatshirt.

He was also known to smoke, officers added.

"He would often live on the streets of his own accord and would present as homeless despite having accommodation," a spokesperson said.

"Sadly there has been no trace of Frank but we are hoping our renewed appeal will jog people's memories who lived in the area at the time."
