Detective Inspector Mick Jones said; "We are searching the local area. and are keen to hear from anyone who has spotted Robert and his children.
"If you see them or know where they might be, please let us know right away on 101 or 999, quoting serial 1053 of 14/08.
“We also ask Robert to get in touch with us so that we can arrange to meet and confirm that he and the children are ok.
“We are not treating the disappearance as suspicious at this stage but it has not happened before and we are naturally very concerned for Robert and especially for his children.”
