Police searching for a missing man have asked people living in Great Yarmouth to check their sheds and outbuildings. 

Manuel Pereira was last seen at his home in Nelson Road Central at 3.50am on Monday.

As the search continues, police have asked locals to check any insecure gardens and outbuildings for the 62-year-old and to get in touch if they have any information.

Inspector Louise Wicks, who is leading the search, said: “We have been out looking for Manuel overnight and today and it is very concerning that there has been no sign of him.

“We have carried out searches of the area around his home in Nelson Road Central, checked CCTV and made house-to-house inquiries, but there have been no sightings since he left his home at around 3.50am.

“I would urge anyone who has seen him to get in touch and also to review any doorbell or dashcam footage that could help us to locate him.”

Mr Pereira is believed to be on foot and enquiries are continuing to establish if he could have travelled by other means beyond the local area.

He is described as black, bald, of slim build and around 5ft 11ins tall.

It is believed that Mr Pereira was wearing a knee-length black padded coat over the top of a blue Tommy Hilfiger coat, a red and white t-shirt, blue jeans, Adidas grey trainers and possibly a black hat.

Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is asked to immediately contact Norfolk Constabulary on 101 quoting reference number 427 of August 19.
