Police are concerned that he has been missing out on important medication.

Det Insp Mark Oughton said: “It is now two-weeks since Daniel was last seen.

“He is in urgent need of medication and his family are understandably very worried for his wellbeing.”

He was last seen wearing a navy hooded jacket, grey coat, jeans and red Reebok trainers.

Det Insp Mark Oughton added: “Daniel may still be in Rotherham but he may have travelled and could be in a rural area.

“Posters have also been circulated by officers at local businesses and homeless shelters across the two towns as part of the inquiry in an attempt to jog people’s memories.

“I’d ask anyone out walking or travelling through rural parts of the county to please be on the lookout for Daniel, and I’d also ask anyone with outbuildings or sheds to check them as he may have sought shelter inside

“We don’t believe Daniel has access to any money or a phone and it is highly likely he will look somewhat dishevelled due to the length of time he has been missing.”

Anyone with information about Mr Higgs’ whereabouts is urged to contact police on 101 quoting incident 957 of November 24.
