A missing man from Emsworth who sparked concern after failing to return home from Portugal has been found.

Matthew, 47, had travelled to Lisbon on 26 March, where he is understood to have been attending a motorcycle racing circuit.

He had been expected to return home on 1 April, but when he failed to do so, concerns were raised by his family.

Sussex Police later launched an appeal as efforts continued to trace him.

The force has now confirmed Matthew has been found.

No further details have been released about where he was located or the circumstances surrounding how he was found.

Police have not disclosed whether he remained in Portugal or had travelled elsewhere during the period he was missing.

His disappearance had prompted concern due to the length of time since he was last expected home and the lack of contact following his trip abroad.

Sussex Police have not released any further information to the media at this stage.

The force has thanked those who shared the appeal and helped with enquiries.
