POLICE divers will today carry out new searches for a man who went missing in York 18 months ago.

Rory Johnson-Hatfield, 29, from Skipton, was last seen near the River Ouse on a night out in York in November 2015.

Mr Johnson-Hatfield left York Central Travel Lodge on Piccadilly just after midnight on November 20 and went to a pub with a fellow hotel guest but failed to return to the hotel and didn't to arrive at work the following evening.

A review of the case has followed a meeting with Mr Johnson's mother, Elizabeth, who has previously asked for new searches, say police.

The latest search will focus on the River Ouse between Naburn Lock and Selby.
