West Yorkshire Police have released fresh CCTV footage as they continue their search for a Bradford man who has now been missing for more than two weeks.

Bradford District CID is appealing for anyone with information about 44-year-old Lee, who was last seen on 30 October.

Lee was recorded on camera in the Gain Lane area of Barkerend at around 5.32pm.

He is described as a white male, 5ft 9ins tall, with a slim build, dark brown and grey shaven hair, a dark beard, and speaks with a Yorkshire accent. At the time he went missing, he was wearing a light-coloured hooded jacket, blue skinny jeans, black walking boots, and carrying a black umbrella.

It's reported that Lee is a keen walker and often enjoys routes along the Shipley towpath and around Apperley Bridge.

Significant searches have been carried out in recent days, including the use of police dogs, off-road bikes, and a police helicopter.

Chief Inspector John Toothill said:

“It is now over 14 days since Lee was reported missing and since then extensive enquiries have been ongoing across Bradford District to find him.

“We have released CCTV of him but have not had any recent sightings and can only grow ever more concerned for Lee’s welfare as time goes by."

He added:

“Extensive searches have been ongoing using a large number of police resources and we continue to focus our efforts in the Shipley and Apperley Bridge areas.

“Anyone who may have seen someone matching Lee’s description in those areas is asked to contact us. We would also urge residents in Shipley and Apperley Bridge to check any outbuildings in case Lee may have been sleeping rough.

“I would again urge anyone who may have seen him or who knows where he is to come forward.”
