A British tourist has gone missing in Amsterdam after telling his friends that he had forgotten his passport as they went to fly home.
Ryan Jones told his companions that he needed to go and get his travel documents before their flights on May 4, according to Dutch police.
The 34-year-old walked away from his group at 2.17pm before making ‘brief’ telephone contact with them.
He has not been heard from since.
Appealing for information about his whereabouts, police described Ryan as 6ft 4in tall and possibly wearing a white baseball cap.
He has a distinctive tattoo on his right forearm.
Police described his case as ‘urgent’ and said: ‘On Sunday, May 4 at 2:17 p.m., the missing person was at Schiphol with a group of friends to leave for home after a weekend in Amsterdam.
‘The missing person said he had forgotten his passport and then left the group.
‘Since then, there has only been brief telephone contact with the missing person.’
They did not say where Ryan comes from in the UK.
He had been with friends on a weekend break in the city before his group was due to fly home from Schiphol Airport.
A spokesperson for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said: ‘We are supporting the family of a British man reported missing in The Netherlands and are in contact with the local authorities.’
