POLICE remain interested in receiving information about a missing horse breeder nine years after he disappeared.

David Clwyd Davies, 69 and of the Trefynant Park area of Acrefair, was last seen on April 3, 2013.

He didn't turn up for an appointment on that day, prompting concerns and resulting in a call to North Wales Police.

A series of house-to-house enquiries and searches were carried out. His absence was described as "out of character".

North Wales Police has confirmed this week that it remains "interested to hear from anyone who has new information" about Mr Davies' case.

A spokesman added: "North Wales Police review unsolved or unresolved cases if further information comes to light or if there are developments in forensic science which might be relevant."

Mr Davies, known as Clwyd, disappeared in the days after he received a ban from keeping horses by Wrexham magistrates in April 2013.

Twenty-one horses owned by Mr Davies on 120 acres of land were relocated by the RSPCA.

At the time he went missing, he was described as 5’ 11” tall, of heavy build with a thick beard.

He usually wore jeans, a fleece top and woolly hat and was well known in the local community.
