He was last seen in the Ratcliffe Road area of Aspull, near Wigan, on Friday (April 17) but could have travelled to the Chorley area since then.

Police searches are focussing on two specific areas - the Aspull area of Wigan (near Haigh Hall) and the area around Hill Top Lane in Whittle-le-Woods near Chorley.

A police spokesperson said: “In Aspull, we are asking if anyone saw someone matching Dwayne’s description last Friday afternoon (April 17) from around 2pm onwards on Haigh Road, going in the direction of Haigh Hall and Red Rock, or from Red Rock towards Aspull.
