Police have released new images in the search for a 53-year-old man who was reported missing from Paignton in January.

Richard Locker was last seen at home on Thursday 4 January 2024 at around 2pm. Police remain concerned for his welfare.

Richard left in his vehicle but this was later recovered in Mill Lane, Torquay on Friday 5 January during police searches.

He is described as a white male, pale in complexion, approximately 5ft 2ins tall, of very slim build and with short grey receding hair. He is known to usually walk with his hands in his pockets.

He may have been wearing a navy fleece, chequered red and black shirt and navy / khaki Mountain Warehouse trousers. He has a tattoo on his right shoulder reading “Easy Tiger”. He may also have a light beige jacket with him. Given the time passed, it is possible he has changed his clothing.

He has links across Torbay, the South Hams and also in the Stoke area of Staffordshire.

If you have seen Richard, or know of his whereabouts, please call police immediately on 999, quoting log number 309 of 5 January.
