Emergency services including police, Dartmoor Search and Rescue and Devon and Somerset Fire Urban Search and Rescue have been carrying out widespread searches and inquires in the mid Devon area in efforts to find missing man John Coker.

Police are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of the 52-year-old man who has been reported missing from the Bradninch area of Devon.

John Coker was last spoken to on Friday 17 July and is last thought to have been in the Bradninch area.

John is described as a white male, around 6ft tall and of slim build.

A police spokesperson said: ‘The picture of John is believed to have been taken around 18 years ago but at this time is the most recent image we have available to us.

‘Anyone who sees John or knows of his whereabouts is asked to contact police on 999 quoting log 325 22/07/20.’
