An American trader has gone missing in London, police say, and his family has arrived in the U.K. in the hopes of finding him.

“The whole family is highly concerned for his well-being,” the family of Josh Sanchez-Maldonado said in a written statement, later adding in a video released by police that their son is a “very lovable person, very communicative and outspoken.”

“Let him know that we’re concerned and that we love him very much,” his father, Jose Sanchez, says in the video, speculating that he might be lost and pleading for Londoners to take good care of him.

The 24-year-old U.S. national, who’s based in San Francisco, had arrived in the U.K. on his first solo trip outside the United States, police said. A trader by profession, he was in London for a job interview and was staying at the St. Giles Hotel in Feltham.
