Police are renewing their appeal for help in tracing a missing 59-year-old man from Beccles.

Mark Mayston was last seen in the Station Road and Gosford area of town at approximately 8:30am Tuesday, 28 March, and has not been heard from since.

 

He is thought to be on foot and is known to walk in rural marshland, along the River Waveney and in wooded areas.

 

Inspector David Holmes, who is leading the search, said: "Mark now been missing for three days and we, along with his family, are increasingly concerned for his welfare.

 

"We have searched the local area using drones, assisted by volunteers from Suffolk Lowland Search and Rescue (SULSAR), carried out house-to-house enquiries and other activities, and have investigated reported sightings, however have not been able to locate Mark.

 

“I would ask local residents and dog walkers to be aware of their surroundings and report any information that may assist with the investigation, however please do not carry out your own searches – particularly in remote areas.

 

“I would also ask residents to check any outbuildings or sheds, in the event Mark has taken shelter somewhere, and to continue reporting any sightings to us. Anyone who may have seen him or has any information as to his whereabouts should contact police immediately.”

 

Officers have now released a new image of Mark (see the Gallery) who is described as white, approximately 6ft 1ins tall, of slim build with grey hair and was last seen wearing a black jacket, a green polo shirt, black trousers, a black hat with fur sides, black trainers with white soles. He is believed to be carrying a black rucksack with white writing.

Anyone who has seen him or who has information on where he may be is urged to contact Suffolk police quoting CAD 357 of 28 March.
