Two men have so far been arrested as part of our investigation. Both have today been released without charge.
Detective Inspector Neil Meade, of the Major Crime Investigation Team, said: “Frederick was last seen seven days ago, on Saturday 25 February. It was at around 8.10am walking his Jack Russell dog along Northload Street and High Street. We’re keen to hear from anyone that recalls seeing him after that point, or was in the George Street area last weekend. Did you see anything out of the ordinary? What may have seemed inconsequential at the time, could be significant to our investigation, so please come forward and let us know.”
Officers will continue speaking with members of the public in the town this weekend. Officers will be handing out witness appeal leaflets in the Market Cross area to seek further witnesses.
