Police renew appeal for missing man
21 year old Lee Johnston has been classified as a high risk missing person
A fresh appeal for information has been issued by police for a missing man.
Lee Johnston, 21, from the Coleraine area, who has been categorised as high risk, was reported missing to police on Friday.
On Tuesday, police said Mr Johnston was seen at a supermarket in Cookstown on Saturday.
Police have issued photographs from that sighting in a bid to aid people's recollection.
Earlier this week, police launched a criminal investigation into Mr Johnston's disappearance.
Mid Ulster District Commander Superintendent Michael O'Loan said Mr Johnston is also believed to have been in the Mullagh Park area of Maghera earlier on Saturday.
"I can now confirm that we have a sighting of Lee in a supermarket on the Orritor Road in Cookstown between 4.52pm and 4.59pm on Saturday October 7. CCTV shows him going through a checkout," he said.
"Today we are issuing photographs of this last sighting in an effort to jog people's memories."
"Lee was also believed to have been in the Mullagh Park area of Maghera earlier that day at around 4pm. He also has links to both the Ballymena and Coleraine areas."
Mr O'Loan said Mr Johnston's family said it is out of character for him not to have been in touch with them.
"He has short brown hair, blue eyes and (is) around five foot nine inches in height and was last seen wearing a blue hooded top and tracksuit bottoms," he said.
"I am appealing directly to Lee to make contact with the police, family or friends so that we know you are safe and well."
"I am appealing to anyone who was travelling through the Mullagh Park area in Maghera between 3pm and 4pm on Saturday October 7 to think if they saw Lee or anything unusual. If you did, please report it to police immediately."
"I would also appeal to anyone with dash-cam, CCTV or mobile footage that could help our enquiries, to also make contact with police on 101, quoting reference number 1782 13/10/23."
A 31-year-old woman and 33-year-old man arrested by police investigating the disappearance were on Tuesday evening continuing to help officers with their inquiries.
