Search for missing man spreads to Surbiton

The search for a missing man from Crystal Palace has reached Surbiton.  Police and friends have stepped up their efforts to find the man who went missing on Sunday 12th February.  Andy Cooke, 29, was last seen leaving a party in Chingford.

Police have been searching the surrounding area, but now the search is widening to Surbiton, where he used to live.  Andy had only recently moved from Surbiton to Crystal Palace, so the Police are appealing for information from any Surbiton friends or acquaintances.  His uncle, Brian Cooke, said: "As a family we're extremely concerned."

Friends say the disappearance is completely out of character for Mr Cooke.  Andy (pictured above) is slim and about 5 foot 10 inches.  It is though that he was wearing a blue jacket and may have had paint on his face.

Anyone with information is urged to call Waltham Forest Police on 020 7232 6246.  If you prefer to remain anonymous, you can send an email to his friends who are looking for him to:  findandy@o2email.co.uk.
