VOLUNTEERS have joined search parties to help find a missing man.

James Mitchell was reported missing by his family in Horsham on Friday at 8am.

CCTV footage had shown him at Redhill railway station in Surrey.

At first police believed he could have gone to Westminster or central London.

PC Emily Beck said: "We and 30 search volunteers are looking for James in the Horsham and Warnham areas.

New CCTV footage showed the 51-year-old getting off a train at Warnham.
