The mother of a missing teenager last seen riding his bike towards the M48 Severn Bridge said she “just wants him home”. Joseph Bellamy, 18, has been missing since Tuesday, December 3 last year.
He was last seen leaving his home in Caldicot, Wales, between midnight and 1am. Police said he was then spotted on CCTV riding his red bike towards the bridge. The bike was later found by officers and serious concern was raised for Joseph’s welfare.
As reported by Wales Online, his Mum Natasha recently said in a post on Facebook: “It is now six weeks since our beautiful son went missing. He is in our every waking thought. Things are no easier. We just want him home.”
Joseph is described as white, 6ft tall with mousey hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing light colour jeans with black Jordan 4s Black Cat Retro mid-top Nike trainers and a black Teddy fleece jumper with a black sweatshirt underneath.
Gwent Police are continuing to urge motorists to check their dashcam footage. They are appealing for anyone with relevant information on his whereabouts to come forward.
The force said: “Officers investigating are trying to establish Joseph’s movements after he was captured on CCTV at 00:45/12.45am and are urging for any motorists who used the M48 bridge that morning to check their dashcam footage.
“If you were using the bridge or in the surrounding area, and haven’t done so, please check CCTV or dashcam footage between 12.30am and 2am on Tuesday 3 December for any sightings of Joseph.”
They added: “Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call us on 101 or send us a direct message on social media, quoting log reference 2400400170. Joseph is also urged to get in touch with us.”
