Police Launch Urgent Appeal for Missing Man from Paddock Wood

Kent Police have issued an urgent appeal for information following the disappearance of a 55-year-old man from Paddock Wood.

Lee Styles was last seen in the village around 10pm on Sunday, 23 February 2025. Concerns are growing for his welfare, and officers are calling on the public’s help to locate him.

Lee is described as being 5ft 8in tall, of stocky build, with a bald head and a short greying beard. He has multiple tattoos, which could help in identifying him. At the time of his disappearance, Lee was wearing a camouflage jacket and black jogging bottoms.

A spokesperson for Kent Police said: “We are growing increasingly concerned for Lee’s wellbeing and are asking anyone who may have seen him or who has any information about his whereabouts to come forward immediately. Every piece of information, no matter how small, could help us find him.”

Anyone who sees Lee or has information on his location is urged to call 999 and quote reference 24-0180.

The police have also requested that residents in the area check any CCTV or doorbell camera footage from the evening of Sunday, 23 February, which may provide crucial clues in the search for Lee.
