Nathan James Sim, aged 32 has been missing since Saturday evening.

The young father was last seen at around 7pm on Quai Saint-Croix in the centre of Bordeaux.

His family told The Local he had been visiting Bordeaux for the day and had been working in Lormont, a suburb of Bordeaux, decorating a holiday cottage.

They have not been able to contact him via his mobile phone since he went missing.

His partner Sally Louise launched an appeal on Facebook: “I am posting this in the hope that a friend of a friend of a friend might share it and it might reach someone who knows his whereabouts. Please, please share and get this photo as widespread as possible.”

Police used a helicopter early on Monday morning to search for a 75-year-old woman who had been reported missing, Ritzau writes.

North Zealand Police had received 23 complaints by 8am on Monday, a police spokesperson said.

“We are naturally sorry to have disturbed residents, but we hope for understanding that there was good reason to do so,” North Zealand Police press officer Henriette Døssing said.

The missing woman, whose first name is Ulla, is described as 1.68 metres tall and with short grey-black hair.

She is reported to have left her home in the Geels Skov area on Sunday morning. After searching for her throughout the day, her family contacted police on Sunday evening.

Police have called for people in the area to check garages, outhouses and other places where she may have sought shelter, and released an image of the missing woman on Twitter. Any possible sightings should be reported using telephone number 114.

In an earlier tweet, North Zealand Police also apologised for noise caused by the helicopter search. The helicopter took off at 4:30am on Monday, police said.
