Fears for missing Brit in Benidorm who failed to return home and ‘hasn’t called anyone in days’

THE family of a missing Brit have launched an appeal online after he failed to return home from a trip to Benidorm.

John, pictured above, is said to have travelled from Alicante to Benidorm five days ago.

In a post online a relative said: “Our cousin is missing out in Benidorm can you please share and help us.

“He was meant to return home today and he hasn’t, he also hasn’t rang anyone in days this is so out of character.”

Another more detailed post explained: “John Hardy, also known as John George (Georgie) aged 36 from Belfast arrived in Benidorm Saturday 14th to visit a friend.

“He last had contact on Saturday with a phone call and was very distressed. No contact since and his phone is dead.

“He has distinctive tattoos covering alot of his body with the Name GEORGIE . Family are really concerned as he missed his return flight yesterday 18th Dec.

“Police and Hospitals have been contacted.”

Another post by a loved one said: “Anyone who sees John can you get him to contact home.

“He left for Benidorm from Alicante five days ago and no one has heard from him… we would just like to know he is okay.”
