Police have released CCTV imagery showing the last known movements of a Co Tyrone man last seen in the early hours of New Year’s Day.

The PSNI said they are becoming increasingly concerned for the welfare of Taylor Stewart (21), who was pictured on the footage in the Church Heights area of Cookstown around 5.30am on January 1.

Even a seemingly insignificant piece of information could help

Local policing Inspector Wilson said: “We are becoming increasingly concerned for Taylor’s welfare and the community will see on the ground as we continue to conduct our enquiries.

“We now believe Taylor was wearing blue jeans with a brown belt, a long sleeved white shirt with a red square pattern, and green/brown boots. He is approximately 5ft 8in tall, of medium build with dark hair and brown eyes.

“We thank everyone who has come forward with information so far, and we now want to appeal directly to anyone who may have been out and about in the area at the time Taylor was last seen. Taxi drivers, for example, may have still been transporting New Year’s Eve revellers.

“If you recognise Taylor from this image, please make contact with us. Even a seemingly insignificant piece of information could help.”

“We would also ask that anyone with dashcam, CCTV or a doorbell camera check their footage, and that key-holders check their premises.
