Police searching for a missing 75-year-old man from Peacehaven are appealing for help from the public after CCTV footage revealed his last known movements.

Arthur was last seen in the area of Skylark Avenue and Pelham Rise in Peacehaven at 10.22pm on Saturday 7 November.

Earlier that afternoon, CCTV captured him in Kemp Town, Brighton, at around 4pm.

Sussex Police say officers are continuing their searches and enquiries amid concerns for his welfare.

Residents in Peacehaven are being urged to check their gardens, sheds and outbuildings in case Arthur has sought shelter.

Inspector Richard Breeze said: “We are concerned for the welfare of Arthur and are carrying out searches and making enquiries to find him.

“We are asking anyone who lives in the Peacehaven area to check their gardens, sheds or outbuildings in case he has taken shelter there.”

Arthur is described as six feet tall, clean-shaven, with short grey hair.

When he was last seen, he was wearing black tracksuit bottoms, a grey quarter-zip jumper, white and grey New Balance trainers and a bucket-style hat.

He was also carrying a khaki holdall.

Police say Arthur has connections to Saltdean, Brighton and Shoreham, and are asking people in those areas to look out for him.

Anyone who sees Arthur or knows where he might be should call 999 immediately, quoting Operation Brownlow.
