A major search and rescue operation remains underway in the Sutton Benger area near Chippenham following the disappearance of a man more than 48 hours ago.

Dozens of volunteers from Wiltshire Search and Rescue are involved in the search, supported by specialist teams from neighbouring counties, as efforts continue to locate Timothy.

Wiltshire Police have renewed their appeal for information about Timothy, who is aged in his 50s and was last seen at approximately 9am on Thursday (18 June).

Officers said he was seen walking near the park in Sutton Benger heading towards the High Street. Police believe he emerged from Park Lane onto the High Street at around 9.20am.

They said they are concerned for his welfare and are urging anyone with information to come forward.

Timothy is believed to be wearing a red T-shirt, long blue shorts, black trainers and glasses. He is described as white, around 5ft 7ins tall, with grey hair and blue eyes.

Police have released the latest CCTV images of Timothy and are asking anyone who may know where he is to contact them.

Officers are also keen to hear from anyone with dashcam footage recorded in the High Street area at around 9.20am on Thursday.

Wiltshire Search and Rescue thanked staff at The Bell in Sutton Benger for supporting volunteers during the operation. Donate to the support the life-saving charity here >

In a statement, the charity said: “We’d like to say a big thank you to The Bell in Sutton Benger for supporting our efforts over the last 24hrs.

“We continue to work to locate missing person Tim and bring him home safely… we’ve all appreciated the access to water, toilets and shade, especially #Susi!”

Additional support has come from neighbouring counties.

Lowland Rescue Oxfordshire said: “OxSAR Foot, K9 and Drone assets have been mobilised to assist Wiltshire Search and Rescue in the search for a high risk missing person.”

Anyone with information about Timothy’s whereabouts should call 999 and quote log 181 of 18 June.
