Police have made a new appeal for information to trace Preston man Steven Durand.

The 31-year-old went missing from Hornby Avenue, in Ingol, on October 28.

Steven’s mother Christine Durand has appealed directly for him to come home.

Here are Steven’s last known movements

At 2pm on 19 October, his cards were used at a cash machine in Chorley

He then travelled by train from Chorley to Manchester during the afternoon of 19 October

Around 7am on 20 October he was seen on CCTV in Bargain Booze in Bolton Road, Salford

Steven then visited the Premier Store in Agecroft Road, Swinton, at 11am on 20 October. This is the last confirmed sighting.

A mother’s appeal

She said: “Steven suffers from mental health issues but is a very kind soul and will talk to anyone. I’d ask that people think back to those dates in October and have a really good think if they were in the Chorley or Manchester areas.

“Did you see my son or even have a conversation with him? Steven has been gone for eight months now and my one plea is that people don’t forget about him. Every month that passes is another without my son and another month of pain and worry.”
