A huge search operation is ongoing in Swindon after a 19-year-old’s disappearance.

Wiltshire Search and Rescue were tasked with supporting the police in locating James Phillips, who is missing from his address in the Blunsdon area.

He was reported missing at around 10am on Friday, 15 October.

Wiltshire Police say they are “growing increasingly concerned for his welfare” and have launched a full-scale search operation.

Specially trained search volunteers have gathered at the Blunsdon House Hotel, where they are able to begin their second night search.

Earlier today, the National Police Air Service helicopter from Bristol circled the area – searching open areas, including land north of Tadpole Garden Village and south-east of Blunsdon.

James is described as being mixed race, approximately five foot ten inches tall and of a slim build. He has short black hair and wears glasses.

Police want anyone who knows his whereabouts to call them on 999 quoting log 74 of yesterday (15 October).

UPDATE: Body found in search for 19-year-old man missing from Swindon, Wiltshire Police say
