Good afternoon, we know a lot of you have been asking for the latest in the search for John Taylor who is missing from Kenilworth. 

The search is continuing today and there remains a large police presence in the area. One of our specialist teams has been carrying out water searches.

We’re in regular contact with John’s family and ensuring they get the support they need.

The officers, the search and rescue teams and John’s family are all hugely grateful for the support they have received from members of the public.

We’re keen to highlight that there is an extreme weather warning in place over the weekend and John’s family are urging people not to put themselves in danger to help with the search. We’re especially discouraging people from going searching in the dark.

We’d also like to reassure you that all farm outbuildings in the area have now been searched and ask that people avoid going into these, especially after dark. This is causing alarm to their owners.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated over the weekend. Thank you for your ongoing support.

Please keep an eye on our website and Facebook account for more updates.
