Police have launched a new search for a man who has not been seen since July.

It follows the discovery of Liam Graham's wallet on farmland close to where he vanished.

Mr Graham was last seen just before 00:10 BST on Stoke Road, between Lower Stoke and Hoo, Kent, on 22 July.

His family believe he walked off after suffering a head injury in a car crash.

At the time officers spent 10 days searching two miles of the Hoo Peninsula, using drones, sniffer dogs, a helicopter and the force’s search and marine unit.

A new operation was planned to start on 22 October, but was brought forward after the discovery of the wallet.
