The family appeal for Ben Crook, who has been reported missing

An Abertridwr man has been reported as missing in Turkey – on his 32nd birthday.

According to a family appeal posted on social media, Ben Crook was reportedly escorted off a plane in the country on Monday September 23.

He was then seen at 4am on Tuesday at the airport and then again at 12.30pm that day in Kaleici.

Mr Crook was wearing a black Versace t-shirt, black shorts and white Nike trainers with a blue tick. He is said to have no phone and little money.

A Foreign Office spokesperson said: “We are supporting the family of a British man reported missing in Turkey and are in contact with the local authorities.”

The family are urging holidaymakers to keep an eye out for Mr Crook and to call 07580004875.
