Jersey Police have been conducting road checks as officers continue to search for missing man Thomas Frost.

Some 30 vehicles were stopped between 10pm and 2am on Saturday (18 February) in St Ouen where he went missing.

Officers wanted to encourage those who regularly drive in the west of the island to think about if they knew something they hadn't realised was important.

Detective Inspector Christina Maclennan, who is leading the investigation, is now looking through any information obtained from the road checks.

Mr Frost, who is 51, was last seen at his parents' house in St Ouen at around 10pm on Saturday 11 February.

They live on a lane above L'Etacq in the parish.

Mr Frost is described as being 5'10" tall, with a medium build and grey hair.

Police say he was likely wearing a red t-shirt underneath a navy shirt with white buttons and navy jeans.

He could also be wearing a light grey hoodie over his shirt, and the officers believe he could be barefoot.

Police are appealing for anyone in the western parishes that has dash-cam footage, private CCTV or doorbell cameras to get in touch.

Anyone with an ‘Honesty Box’ roadside veg stall that may have CCTV on it is asked to come forward as well.

Gardens, fields, sheds and outbuildings in the area should also be checked for any sign of Mr Frost.

Police are looking to speak to a person who was spotted walking on Le Mont Huelin on Saturday night between 9:30pm and 10pm.

They need to be identified so they can be removed from the investigation.

The person was wearing dark clothes and carrying a small light.

So far, drones have been used as well as a police dog and the fire service's inshore rescue vessel, which has been searching around Val de le Mare reservoir.

Officers are also going house-to-house to ask nearby residents for any information, and are distributing 'missing person' posters to businesses, parish halls and other public locations.

On Thursday, a specialist police search adviser flew over from Guernsey to assist Jersey Police with their investigation, to ensure that everything is correctly coordinated and remains effective.

Anyone with information is asked to call Jersey Police on 01534 612612.
