The owner of a Leeds company has urged his missing business partner to 'reach out in any way he can' after he boarded a bus to Harrogate with no phone during the early hours of Monday morning.
Jesus Moreno was last seen at 6.10am on August 1 at Leeds bus station and was said to be 'in good spirits'. But his business partner Marcos Ramirez has said there was 'no logical reason' for him to take the journey to Harrogate. No-one has seen or heard from Jesus since he boarded the bus on Monday morning.
Marcos, who co-owns Piglove Brewing Co. with Jesus, is now urging his business partner to reach out in any way possible. He told Leeds Live : "The only thing we care about is for him to come back, or to reach out if he needs any help. He lost his phone the day before so we just want him to reach out in any way he can.

"If he is OK we want him to let us know - that is the main thing. We are speculating and thinking too much. We only want to know that he's safe."
Marcos said Jesus went out on Sunday night and returned home at around 11.30pm. "He was up really early on Monday morning and a friend dropped him off (in Leeds)," he said. CCTV captured Jesus walking around Leeds at 5.17am. "He could not get into the work van and he wandered around Leeds city centre," said Marcos. "A friend saw him and said he was in good spirits. He is always in a good mood."
According to Marcos, Jesus was spotted at Leeds bus station at around 6.10am before boarding a bus to Harrogate at 6.17am. "He bought a ticket to Harrogate but we do not know where he got off (the bus)," said Marcos. "We are trying to get more information from the bus station but we have to go through the police."
Marcos described Jesus' decision to board the bus as 'extremely weird' as he had a full day planned at work which included travelling to Manchester. He said: "There is no logical reason why he would take a bus.
"We had a full day planned for the business which involved him. That's why he was up so early. It is extremely weird as he was supposed to be taking beer to Manchester and the brewery is ten minutes from the bus station."
A post shared on Piglove Brewing Co's Facebook page tonight (Fri) read: "This CCTV footage from Monday August 1 at 5.17AM is the last image of Jesus (heyzeus) Moreno our beloved friend and Piglove co-founder. He was in good spirits all weekend and up early and ready for work on Monday.
"He was last seen getting the bus from Leeds bus station to Harrogate from Leeds at 6.17AM on Monday morning (01.08.22). Nobody knows why Jesus chose to travel to Harrogate. His daughter and all his family are extremely worried for his wellbeing.
