CONCERNS have been raised regarding the whereabouts of a man from Colwyn Bay who has been reported missing while on holiday in Italy.

Gerallt Evan Williams, 62, known as “Gonz”, took a holiday to Rome earlier this month, but did not make his planned return journey home.

Those who may be able to help in the search for Gerallt have been urged to contact police.

A North Wales Police spokesperson said: “We have concerns for 62-year-old Gerallt, who has been missing from the Colwyn Bay area since June 9, following not returning to the area from a holiday in Italy.

“Anyone with information is urged to get in touch with officers on 101, or via the website, quoting iTrace reference 45953.”

Gerallt’s niece, Cat, said her uncle, who works for Stermat Hardware, was staying at the Hotel Dei Pini, in Fiuggi.

While in Italy, she said, he hurt his head and attended hospital, but subsequently did not get his coach back home on June 12.

Cat added: “All the information we have is that, on June 15, he booked two flights, one of which he checked in for but did not board. Since then, we've had nothing.

“We have a missing person report from Llandudno Police Station, and the British Embassy are doing what they can. Without boarding that flight, he must still be over there.

“We would ask that anyone with information contacts the police, rather than the family.

“As much as we want to get the word out, we are getting floods of calls and messages asking for updates or bad information, which is causing more stress on the family.”
