“We are also asking for the public’s help in finding him.

“If anybody has any knowledge on his whereabouts, or has seen him, please get in touch with us as soon as possible, ideally giving a location and direction of travel, and a description of what he’s wearing.

“We would also like to make a direct appeal to Hutchinson himself to please hand himself in.”
