"We’re really keen to hear from any residents or businesses in this area who have CCTV footage that may show Kyle walking by, as well as from any motorists who hold dash cam footage from their journey they could share with us.

“We know Kyle liked to go for walks, so we can’t rule out yet the possibility that he walked a considerable way along Bawtry Road and into the surrounding area.

"I’d again ask anyone out walking for their daily exercise, or walking their dog, to let us know if you’ve seen anyone that matches Kyle’s description.”

CI Carlson added: “We don’t believe Kyle had any spare clothing with him and the weather is turning colder, so naturally Kyle’s family and our officers are growing more concerned.“I’m really grateful for the support we’ve had from the community so far and appreciate everyone who has taken the time to contact us.

“We’ve received some information that Kyle may have some connections in Rossington, so the digital van spent some time in this community today too, in the hopes that it jogged someone’s memory.“Please, if you know anything about where Kyle might be, contact police as soon as possible.”

Anyone with information should call 101, quoting incident number 343 of 11 November 2020 and footage should be sent to enquiries@southyorks.pnn.police.uk.
