Family’s appeal over Scarborough man, 85, missing for a month

North Yorkshire Police said it was believed that Mr Davis did not have a phone with him when he went missing, and he had not accessed his bank account since his disappearance.

Officers were continuing to search for him and had distributed leaflets and posters in key locations, a force spokesperson said.

Police appealed to residents and businesses in Scarborough to check CCTV systems, video doorbells and dashcams – particularly from early in the morning of 19 December.

Insp Craig Regan said any sightings of Mr Davis could provide crucial information in the search for him.

“Were you out early in the morning on 19 December? Particularly if you were in the area around the William Street Coach Park, or along Marine Drive and Royal Albert Drive, you may have important information that could help,” he said.

“Our inquiries will continue for as long as it takes. We’ve had a positive response to our appeals for information about Les, and continue to urge people to get in touch with information.”
