Police are becoming increasingly worried about a man who disappeared from his home five months ago.

Gary Lovett went missing in April and appeals for him to contact his family in Parkeston have so far been fruitless.

Detectives have now been drafted in to try to get more clues about the 47-year-old's whereabouts.

The police and the Gazette have also made posters which will be put up around north Essex and south Suffolk in an attempt to find him.

Mr Lovett is 5ft 6ins to 5ft 8ins tall, weighs 12st and is of slim build. He has receding fair hair and usually has facial stubble.

Anyone who may have seen him should contact Harwich police on 01255 241312.
