 Derby Mountain Rescue Team joined forces with Edale Mountain Rescue on Thursday 23rd January, to search for 58 year old Kevin Herbert, missing from a nursing home in Dronfield.
As we have previously reported HERE, Mr Herbert (pictured left) was reported missing from Brookview Nursing Home, Holmley Lane at around 10pm on Wednesday 22nd January. Derbyshire Police carried out house to house enquiries and used the police helicopter to search the local area before calling out mountain rescue at around 1pm to extend the search.
Twenty two Derby MRT members and 19 Edale MRT were joined by a specialist SARDA mountain rescue search dog to search open areas and woodland in the vicinity of the nursing home.
Teams searched through until late evening, but Mr. Herbert was not located within the search area and the teams were stood down, pending further police enquiries.
Mr. Herbert is 5ft 7ins, of stocky build with short cropped hair and blue eye. He was wearing a red football shirt and jeans.
Police are becoming increasingly concerned for his safety and urge anyone who has any information to contact them on 101.
