Police release CCTV footage as search for Bradford man missing for over two weeks continues

Police in Bradford are again urging anyone who may have seen or has any information about missing Lee, aged 44, to contact them.

Lee was reported missing on October 31 and was last spotted on camera in the Gain Lane area of Barkerend at around 5.32pm on October 30.

Chief Inspector John Toothill of Bradford District Police said: “It is now over 14 days since Lee was reported missing, and since then, extensive enquiries have been ongoing across Bradford District to find him.

“We have released CCTV of him, but have not had any recent sightings and can only grow ever more concerned for Lee’s welfare as time goes by.”

Lee, whose surname has not been disclosed, is described as a white male, 5 ft 9 in (175 cm) tall, of slim build with dark brown/grey shaven hair and dark beard. He speaks in a Yorkshire accent.

He was last seen wearing a light-coloured hooded jacket, skinny blue jeans, black walking boots, and carrying a black umbrella. He is a keen walker and is known to like walking in the Shipley area along the towpath, and in Apperley Bridge, police said.

Significant search efforts have been ongoing since he went missing, including the use of police dogs, off-road bikes, and a police helicopter.

Chief Inspector Toothill added: “Extensive searches have been ongoing using a large number of police resources, and we continue to focus our efforts in the Shipley and Apperley Bridge areas.

“Anyone who may have seen someone matching Lee’s description in those areas is asked to contact us. We would also urge residents in Shipley and Apperley Bridge to check any outbuildings in case Lee may have been sleeping rough.

“I would again urge anyone who may have seen him or who knows where he is to come forward.”

“Information can be given to police via 101 or use the live chat options at www.westyorkshire.police.uk/livechat quoting log 320 of 31 October.”
