Missing taxi driver found

MISSING taxi driver Leonard Burse has been found in Scotland.

Mr Burse, 58, of Pine Close, Rudloe, in Corsham, vanished on January 25
from Trowbridge train station.

Police, who were initially concerned for Mr Burse's welfare, confirmed the
Corsham taxi driver was sighted at Aberdeen airport after returning from
Sweden.

It is believed Mr Burse left the country on Monday to visit his girlfriend
without knowing police were looking for him.

Aberdeen Police spotted him and passed on his details to officers in
Chippenham.

Staff at Chippenham contacted Mr Burse through email and later on the
telephone to check his welfare.

Insp Gavin Williams of Chippenham Police said: "Mr Burse is no longer a
missing person.

"The circumstances of his disappearance initially gave us concerns for his
welfare and we are relieved he is safe and well."
