The girlfriend of a Greenhithe man who disappeared a week and a half ago has made an impassioned video plea asking for him to return home.

Patrick Lamb, 28, was last seen at around midnight on December 13 after a night out in Maidstone.

His last known sighting, on CCTV, shows him walking down High Street towards Pudding Lane.

Police, Kent Search and Rescue, friends, family - from Greenhithe and Canterbury - and the local community are now carrying out a major search.

Specialist police divers have been searching the River Medway but have so far found nothing to suggest he was there.

In the video, on YouTube, Natasha Morgan, 28, says: "Pat, if you’re listening, I love you so much. Please come home to me.

"It doesn’t matter what’s happened or if you feel embarrassed or if you think you’ve done something wrong. It really doesn’t matter.

"You know I forgive everything anyway. I love you so much and I just need you safe.

"I need your help with everything. I need you in my life, I need you to look after me. Please let me look after you now. Please come home, please don’t do anything. I love you so much."

Anyone with any information on Patrick's whereabouts should call the police on 101.
