CCTV footage released in search for missing man

Officers searching for a man who went missing 10 days ago have released CCTV images of two people who may have seen him.

Sam, 24, who is autistic, was seen at about 12:10 GMT on 6 November near Axholme Court on Plimsoll Way in Hull.

Humberside Police has released CCTV footage from a nearby street and believe two people may have "vital information".

Ch Insp Owen Stafford said: "The footage shows two individuals walking along the rear of Ocean Boulevard on Victoria Dock promenade in Hull at around the same time Sam was last seen."

He added: "We are appealing for these individuals to come forward as they may have vital information that could assist us."

On Tuesday, Sam's mum Helen described her son's disappearance as "pure hell" and explained how she had left more than 30 care packages and notes around the city urging him to ask for help.

Humberside Police said it had looked at hours of CCTV footage and had carried out house-to-house enquiries as part of the search for Sam who is described as white and about 5ft 7ins (1.7m) tall.

Specialist officers have been working alongside scent dogs and the underwater search unit to try and understand Sam's movements.

"We continue to support Sam's family during this incredibly difficult time; keeping them updated as the investigation progresses, and we are doing everything we can to try and find him," Ch Insp Stafford added.
