The campaign group 'find DJ Derek' say his family have been told that the police have stopped looking for the missing Bristol DJ.

73-year-old Derek Morris has been missing for two months. In a statement posted on Facebook, the group say there has been a "shocking" lack of police support, and call on friends and supporters to help the search effort.

They say police have called off the search until there is further evidence.

"Dear friends and fans, the police have notified the family that they will no longer be looking for Derek.

So no further involvement from the police until there is further evidence, so I guess it's up to us to pull together and do their job for them.

The lack of police support is shocking and to leave his family in thin air is unfair and terribly insensitive to their pain.

We could do with all your help and suggestions please get in contact over the weekend and we will respond as soon as we can.

Thank you to all of you for your love and support."
