Police have released a CCTV photo believed to be the last known sighting of missing man James Whitman.
The photo shows James leaving the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital at around 4pm on Monday.
He is described as white, 5ft 10, with short blonde hair. The CCTV image shows him wearing a navy-blue polo top with ‘A’ on his chest, navy-blue trousers, and blue and white trainers. He can also be seen carrying a red and black rucksack.
Officers have made house-to-house enquiries, checked CCTV footage and carried out extensive searches involving volunteers from Norfolk Lowland Search and Rescue, police dogs and drone units over the past two days.
Inspector Adam Binns, who is leading the search, said: “There have been a number of sightings of James reported to us over the last 24 hours that we’re following up but I’d still appeal to the public to continue to be attentive.
“Hopefully this new CCTV image may trigger someone’s memory – perhaps someone who may have seen him or the direction in which he was travelling? Please contact us if you see anything – I think people worry about calling police because perhaps they think their information may be insignificant, but it may just be the missing jigsaw piece for us.”
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101, quoting incident number 341 of Monday 13 June 2022.
