Detective inspector Jason Chidgey of Avon & Somerset police said: “We have been continuing our search to trace missing man Jack, and keeping Jack’s family updated with our enquiries.

“We have dedicated hours of time in conducting foot patrols, CCTV trawls and extensive searches by the police dive team of the River Avon.

“We are now appealing for the public’s help to help us identify if the individual in the CCTV is Jack as we continue to trace his movements.

“Even if you don’t remember seeing anyone, check your dashcam footage, if you have it, as that may have picked something up.”
