Officers searching for a man who went missing five days ago have released two new CCTV images.
Robert Rees‑Hughes, 35, was last seen at around 3.10pm on Saturday in Easingwold.
The CCTV stills were captured on Crabmill Lane, representing the last confirmed sighting of him, according to officers.
Robert is described as white, around 5ft 3in tall, of medium build, with dark brown short receding hair. He is believed to have a visible head injury — described as a gash on the top of his head. At the time he was last seen, he was wearing a dark waterproof jacket, grey chino jeans and walking boots.
Local police say they have deployed extensive resources — including drones and specialist search teams — to support the search. The force has expressed growing concern for Robert’s welfare as temperatures drop and the weather grows colder.
Inspector Michael Smith from North Yorkshire Police said: “The stills released today show Robert walking along Crabmill Lane in Easingwold on Saturday, which is the last confirmed sighting of him.”
“We continue to carry out a range of enquiries and search activity to locate Robert, who remains a missing person. As time goes on, we’re increasingly concerned for his welfare, particularly now the weather has turned and temperatures drop to freezing at night.
“I would urge anyone who has seen Robert to contact us with any information.”
If you believe you have seen Robert or have any information that may assist, please contact North Yorkshire Police on 101. If you know his immediate whereabouts — or if you believe he is in danger — call 999 immediately.
