THE desperate family of a Somerset man who has been missing for more than a month have issued a heartfelt plea to find him.

Lawrence Kemp, 32, disappeared from his home in Glastonbury without cash or bank cards .

He was last in contact with his family late on Saturday, August 1.

His family has issued a statement, saying: "Lawrence’s disappearance is highly out of character.

"As a family we are beyond worried, and are desperate to know if he is safe and well.

"He is a much-loved son, brother, uncle and brother-in-law, who we are all used to seeing at least weekly.

"Lawrence’s nephews and nieces are concerned and struggling to understand why and where he has gone, they miss him terribly.

"Please, if anyone knows anything, tell the police or Missing People charity."

The last confirmed sighting of Lawrence was in the early hours of Sunday, August 2, in Chilkwell Street, Glastonbury.

He was wearing a blue checked shirt, over a pale blue T-shirt.

He is described as white, about 170cm (5ft 8ins) tall and slim with a shaven head and a bushy brown beard. He has a tattoo on his right forearm and a tongue piercing.
