Police have widened the search for a Douglas man to the UK.

The constabulary issued an appeal for information over the whereabouts of 41-year-old John Barlow at the weekend - with police now liaising with counterparts in Lancashire.

Officers say Mr Barlow is not in any trouble, and say he was last seen wearing a navy coloured hooded top, blue jeans and grey trainers.

Authorities have thanked the public for their help so far, and anyone who may have further information is being asked to get in touch with Police Headquarters.
