When did you visit if you don’t mind me asking? Did you hear of / witness any crime in the area? I have read that spiking is rife in the area although I have no evidence of this & haven’t seen anything reported in mainstream media however if that was the case I don’t think LE would want it published incase it damaged tourism, all moo.

It's a few years ago since I last holidayed there Lyndaloo. I've been quite a few times though. Yes to hearing about crimes unfortunately. Theft is most common I believe. But, it's not an everyday event. Spiking will be happening too

Police 'must do more' to find man who went missing in Lanzarote, say family

Renfrew man Gary Shearer disappeared shortly after flying out to Lanzarote on March 16 to celebrate St Patrick's Day.
www.the-gazette.co.uk www.the-gazette.co.uk

“We went to the police in Scotland and they got in touch with Interpol, who contacted the police over there, but they have heard nothing back either”
The last sighting of him was on CCTV at around 1.30am, when he was lying unconscious in a shop doorway next to the pub.
Several passers-by spotted him but did not raise the alarm.

Danny fears Gary had forgotten which hotel he was staying at and may have crossed the road with the intention of going to sleep on a beach opposite Bar 67.

At the time of his disappearance, Gary had 70 euros, having left the rest of his holiday money in the hotel safe.

When last seen, he was wearing a hooped Celtic top, shorts and white Nike trainers with green and yellow flashes.
He has short hair, is 5ft 2ins tall and walks with a distinctive limp.
Police in Spain have asked anyone who has information on Gary's whereabouts to contact them.
Information can also be passed to Gary's family by calling 0772 209 4907 or 0730 524 3618.''
 
The efforts certainly sound poor.

Why has that bloke seen on the CCTV walking with Gary not come forward? I suppose there's a chance the chap left Lanzarote shortly after, isn't from Scotland and subsequently hasn't seen anything on the news as it's been more local to Scotland than nation wide etc. Much of the time, I see things on here to do with Scotland, that I've never seen on the news.

New CCTV of missing Renfrew man who disappeared in Lanzarote five months ago

Gary Watson Shearer has been missing in Lanzarote since March 17, however, Spanish police's discovery of new CCTV could shed new light on the case and has provided the family with hope.
www.glasgowlive.co.uk www.glasgowlive.co.uk

Gary Watson Shearer disappeared hours after he arrived on the Canary Island to celebrate St Patrick's Day on March 17. The 53-year-old checked into his hotel in Puerto del Carmen before heading to Bar 67.
[...]
He was last seen on CCTV lying unconscious in a doorway near the bar at 1.30am the following morning.
[...]
But now his family say Spanish police have discovered previously unseen footage of Gary with another man, which officials intend to release.
[...]
Footage from the night Gary went missing show him in high spirits as he mixed with fellow punters at the bar.
[...]
However, Spanish police have now told us that they have CCTV of Gary with another man and they are unsure if this is a brief encounter or more.
[...]
Gary suffers from epilepsy and type-2 diabetes; walks with a distinctive limp and was wearing a green and white Celtic football top, white shorts, and white trainers when he went missing.

Family of Celtic fan missing in Lanzarote share CCTV of him with man

Gary Watson Shearer from Renfrew, vanished just hours after he arrived in the country alone to celebrate St Patrick's Day on March 17.
www.dailyrecord.co.uk www.dailyrecord.co.uk

Now fresh footage released by his family via the Find Gary Shearer Facebook page shows Gary with another man in the hours leading up to his disappearance. Images show them walking along the Avenida Las Playas and Avenida Italia in Puerto del Carmen.
[...]
"For this reason, he asks for help to locate the person in the image, having had contact with the disappeared person, since he is seen in some images walking together on March 17, 2023, on Avenida Las Playas and Avenida Italia in Puerto del Carmen, in the municipality of Tías. The objective is to provide data that may be of interest for the investigation."

The male is described as being between 60 and 70 years old with a strong complexion and grey hair. He is believed to have been wearing a light brown sports jacket, white shirt and long dark pants.
end



The CCTV walking with the man was said to have been in the hours leading up to his disappearance so before he was seen lying in the doorway. If they have the CCTV of him lying in the door way then they have CCTV of him getting up/making off?

Here's hoping beyond hope the guy in the CCTV is heading back out for St Patricks day. Being between 60-70 there's a huge chance this person doesn't have social media etc.
 
Following another Christmas without him, his family has hit out saying they are being tortured with upsetting remarks on posts created for the 'Find Gary Shearer' Facebook page., reports the Record.

Gary Shearer has gone missing in Lanzarote

A new post on the page, run by Gary's niece Darcie Deeney, said: "I can’t even believe I have to write this but we are constantly still getting comments on our posts regularly saying things along the lines of, 'obviously Gary doesn’t want to be found'.

"We know for a fact Gary would never put us through any of this and also that combined with the other information we have and the fact that all of his belongings were left in his hotel room clearly means that Gary being missing was not out of his own choice!

"Thank you & thanks again for everyone’s continued support.

Family of missing Renfrew man plea for online trolls to stop tormenting with cruel comments

Gary Shearer disappeared just hours after he arrived in Lanzarote to celebrate St Patrick's Day on March 16, 2023. The 53-year-old's family and friends still have no idea what happened to him.

His family members are currently over in Lanzarote putting up more missing posters and looking for him again.

What do people think happened to him? :(
 
Looking at a map, there only a road separating Bar 67 from an area slanting down towards the sea, which is at places filled with large boulders/cliffs. There are some photos posted that you can see if you look at the map. Not a place safe at night.
