Wiltshire Police are appealing for the help in locating a missing father and son from Chippenham.

It is understood they left the house between 5am and 6am.

Mr Tomlinson is described as a white male, with shaven brown hair and of a slim build. He normally wears glasses but these were left at his home address.

Jack is described as white, taller than average for his age, with mousey brown hair and of a medium build.
