Gavin also has connections to Scarborough and may have travelled there.

Gavin’s Dad, Luc, said: “Gavin if you see or hear this appeal please contact someone. Either call myself or another family member or friend or call the police.

“We all want to know you are OK and bring you home safely. We are all very worried about you.”
