Urgent Hunt Underway for Missing St Leonards Man Amid Coastguard Rescue

Man, 42, Vanishes from St Leonards

Police have launched a frantic search for Simon, 42, who has gone missing from St Leonards. Authorities are deeply worried about his safety.

Simon is described as 5ft 7ins tall with dark brown hair. He was last seen wearing a brown hoodie and black joggers.

Link to Dramatic Coastguard Operation

Sussex Police say Simon may have connections to Exeter and could be far from home. The search is potentially tied to a Coastguard rescue off the Hastings and St Leonards coast late Thursday night.

HM Coastguard and RNLI lifeboats were scrambled after reports of a high-risk missing person, sparking a tense overnight operation.

Public Urged to Stay Vigilant

The public are warned not to approach Simon if spotted. Instead, call 999 immediately quoting reference 898 of 31/07.

Police and Coastguard teams are working round-the-clock, with updates expected as the search continues.
