Police ‘increasingly concerned’ for Cambridgeshire man missing in Cornwall

Police in the West Country are “becoming increasingly concerned” for the welfare of a 28-year-old man from Cambridgeshire who went missing in Cornwall a month ago. Harrison George Barnes was last heard from on June 21 and has not been seen or heard of since.

Colleagues at McDonald’s where he was working in Newquay say it is “worrying that none of the staff at McDonald’s have heard from him and he hasn’t handed in his notice or anything; it’s very strange”.

One other post to a Cornish social media site added: “I have quite a few contacts in Newquay. He worked with my son, but he has not heard from him since they swapped shifts around that same date. He has tried messaging but had no reply.”
