POLICE are searching for two men who have gone missing in York.

The first man, Steven Gaffney, 39, works for Royal Mail. He was last seen by his friends at the Tiger public house in Haxby at around 2.30pm on Bank Holiday Monday.

The last time he made contact with anyone was in the early hours of Tuesday and he has not spoken to friends or family since.

Mr Gaffney, from Acomb, is described as white, about 5ft 7in tall with a slim build and short brown hair which is cropped but spiked up in the middle. He has a brown beard and wears glasses.
