Cambridgeshire Police has carried out various searches for the 53-year-old and are concerned for his welfare. Officers have released a CCTV image of what is thought to be the last known sighting of him.

It was taken just before 7am on June 9 on a pathway connecting Willow Bridge and Shakespeare Road in St Neots. DI Emma Garwood, who is leading the searches said: “Previous appeals have generated information from the public and we’re very grateful for the support we’ve received so far.

“One line of inquiry is that Darren could still be in the community and in need of help and support, so we’re keen to keep our appeal at the forefront of people’s minds. We grow more concerned the longer Darren is missing but we haven’t given up hope of finding him alive.

“If anyone thinks they may have seen Darren from the CCTV image we’ve released, which we believe to be him, please get in touch.”
