Police are stepping up their searches for a missing 59-year-old man who is believed to be on foot. 

Mark Mayston, 59, was last seen in the Station Road and Gosford area of Beccles at about 8.30am on Tuesday.

Officers are concerned for his welfare and have been conducting enquiries to locate him, including searches in the local area – assisted by SULSAR - using drones, door to door enquiries and other activities as part of the investigation.

The spokesman added: "We are continuing to follow up all lines of enquiry- as a priority, including detectives reviews and searches."

Anyone who has seen him or knows of his current whereabouts should immediately contact Suffolk police.
