His car was discovered in the car park at Bempton Cliffs and police have renewed their appeals for help in tracing him.

"Again, we are asking for Russell or anyone who may have seen him to contact us in order for us to locate him as soon as possible."

Russell is described as white around 5ft 8ins tall with a medium build with short straight brown coloured hair.
