The search for missing Alexander has been intensified as both the Coastguard and RNLI have joined in the efforts. The urgency to find him stems from the discovery of an abandoned car on a beach in Sussex. As the day progresses, concern for the man's safety only grows as he was last seen near East Preston beach.
Alexander, a 50-year-old man whose surname has not been disclosed, was reported missing this afternoon. The abandoned car has sparked a massive emergency response along the beach, which is approximately six miles west of Worthing. Coastguard crews have been spotted searching inside the vehicle, while footage shows the Coastguard helicopter and an RNLI lifeboat scouring the freezing sea water. To add to the search efforts, a police canine unit has been spotted along the beach.
The harsh weather conditions have not made the search any easier, with gale force winds of up to 45mph recorded in East Preston today. The water temperature is also quite low, ranging between 9C and 11C. Sussex Police have expressed their concern for Alexander, who is originally from Sheffield.
According to the police, Alexander is 5'10" tall and often wears baggy clothing and a hat. They have urged the public to immediately call 999 if they spot him, referencing serial 0508 of 22/12. The search has been in progress since the alarm was raised around 2pm when a white vehicle was found near the beach. The Coastguard helicopter, a rescue team, and an RNLI lifeboat from Shoreham have all been involved in the search efforts.
