[Updated! Student is unofficially reported as fine!] A Bermudian college student is reported as missing in the United Kingdom, having last been seen two weeks ago in a bar and restaurant in Oxford. The British Police have issued an appeal for help in locating 22-year-old Andrew Stout, saying they are “appealing for witnesses to help locate a man missing from Oxford.”
Sgt David Whittle of the Thames Valley Police said: “Andrew is in his final year of study at Oxford Brookes and has not attended University since the start of term. We are concerned for his welfare as this behaviour is very out of character. If you have seen Andrew or know anything about his whereabouts, please contact.us.”
