A bus company has helped police further trace the movements of a man who has been missing for five days.

A desperate search is ongoing to track down Tom Jennings who was last seen in Hove on Thursday.

It was believed that he planned to travel to the B&Q store in Shoreham.

But, after working with Brighton and Hove Buses, police now know the 27-year-old from Portslade boarded the 49 bus in Boundary Road at 10.01am, then got off the bus in Western Road, near Farm Road, in Hove at 10.16am.
