South Wales Police say an 'extensive' search to find a man - missing since New Year's Eve - is continuing.

65 year old Aled Davies was last seen in the Pontcanna area of Cardiff on Saturday night.

Police are asking the public to continue to report any sightings or information - however insignificant it may seem - to them.

Superintendent Michelle Conquer said: “Since Aled was reported missing early Sunday morning we continue to pursue all lines of enquiry, we are currently searching parks, woodland and local waterways led by a specialist police search advisor and continue to liaise closely with Aled’s family.

“We have implemented a thorough and extensive trawl of available CCTV including local authority, commercial, domestic and door-bell footage.

"The ongoing enquiries are being directed by a Senior Investigating Officer.

“We are very concerned for Aled’s welfare and continue to appeal to anyone who has any information which might help us to find him to come forward urgently.”

He is around 6ft tall and was last seen wearing a dark green coat, dark green hat and glasses.

His family are very concerned as this is out of character for Aled.
