Searches were called off last night and will recommence this morning, which may result in road closures.

A spokesperson for Surrey Police said: "We’d like to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time who might have noticed someone behaving suspiciously or may have CCTV covering the area.

"We would particularly like to speak to anyone who saw a man with dark hair, dressed in a khaki jacket with a black snood, baggy jeans and Timberland style boots near Chertsey Bridge earlier in the evening."
