The Metropolitan Police continue to search for a man who went missing from Hackney and have launched another urgent appeal to find him.

Jason, 56, has not been seen for the past month since leaving his home in Hackney, east London, on November 5.

He is described as 6ft tall, with a skinny build, and was last seen wearing a black hoodie, black bottoms and black Sketchers.

Photos of Jason, which were taken in January 2024, have now been provided by his family.

Jason can be better seen in CCTV from October 22 taken in a shop on Theydon Road, Hackney.

Officers believe that this footage, taken before he went missing, better show what Jason looks like now.

Jason’s sister Amanda said, “Jason, if you see this, we love and miss you. Knowing you are safe will be the best Christmas present we could ask for.

“We need to find Jason, as he is vulnerable. If you see him, please contact the police."

Sergeant Kevin Hook, of the Central East Command Unit, said: "We remain increasingly concerned for Jason’s welfare, as he has now been missing for several weeks.

“Officers are working tirelessly to locate him as soon as possible.

“I’d like to thank Jason’s family for working so closely with us during this investigation. They grow more anxious by the day to see him returned to them safe and well.

“We are asking anyone who may have seen Jason or has information about his whereabouts to contact police immediately.”

They have asked that anyone who might have information that could help police with their investigation to call 101, quoting ref 876/07NOV.
