OFFICERS have thanked members of the public for their response so far as missing Bill Lee has been missing for a week.
Bill is described as a white male, 5ft 6” tall, with a slim build and white hair. He was wearing a light-coloured jacket, a beige jumper and trousers.

“I am hugely grateful to the public of Tamworth and beyond for all of the information and possible sightings of Bill in the last few days.
“This is one of the largest searches for a missing person that has been conducted in recent years. We have been supported by divers from Nottinghamshire Police, volunteers from Staffordshire Search and Rescue and the National Police Air Service (NPAS) helicopter, particularly around the lakes, rivers and land near to Dosthill.
“Anyone who sees Bill, or has information on his whereabouts, is urged to call police immediately on 999, quoting 755 of 16 April.”
