    Police have renewed an appeal to find a man that has been missing for nearly four years.

    The last known sighting of Shaune Jones, aged 49 and from Eltham, south-east London, was in June 2017.

    The Metropolitan Police Service described the disappearance of Mr Jones, who owned a business in Greenwich, as "out of character".

    The force said the latest lead they have is that Shaune may have relocated to the south-west of England, although this has not been confirmed.

    PC Jim Bennett said: "We have not given up hope in finding out where Shaune is.

    "His family are desperate to hear from him and have many questions that need to be answered...

    "I urge anyone who has seen him in recent years or who knows where he is, to get in touch."
