Avon and Somerset Police are issuing a new family photograph in a renewed an appeal for information about Lawrence Kemp, missing from his Glastonbury home since August.

As Christmas approaches, the force is sharing another photo showing Lawrence without his distinctive beard.

His family say Lawrence's disappearance is highly out of character: "As a family we are beyond worried, and are desperate to know if he is safe and well.

"He is a much-loved son, brother, uncle and brother-in-law, who we are all used to seeing at least weekly.

"Lawrence's nephews and nieces are concerned and struggling to understand why and where he has gone, they miss him terribly. Please if anyone knows anything tell the police or Missing People charity."

The last confirmed sighting of Lawrence was in the early hours of Sunday August 2 in Chilkwell Street, Glastonbury.

He was wearing a blue checked shirt, over a pale blue T-shirt. The 32-year-old is without his wallet, bank cards or cash.

Following earlier appeals the police have had reported sightings in Bristol and Bridgwater, which they are following up.
