“He rides a dark mountain cycle from Brighton to Worthing, where he works in a cafe, and was reported missing by his employers after failing to turn up at work, where he is usually very reliable, on Sunday (30 September).
“However, he is not known at the Brighton address he gave his employer and is believed to have been sleeping rough in the city or elsewhere.
