Officers have today (Sunday) issued some new images of Simon captured on CCTV a few days prior to his disappearance. They are hoping the images could help anyone who might have seen him in the past two days to recognise him, and get in touch.

Simon is described as a white male, around 5 foot 4 inches tall, with short black hair and a stubbly beard, and a large build and was last seen wearing a grey top with grey trousers.

Anyone who believes they have seen him is asked to contact police immediately by calling 999 or 101 quoting M008151/23.
