Police are becoming increasingly concerned for the welfare of Mark Harman, 50, from Peacehaven, who was last seen by his wife on Monday 19th December 2011.

Mr Harman left his place of work, which is a family run business in Rottingdean, at around 2pm and returned home, before then leaving in his camper van with some items of clothing, but left his mobile phone.

PC Alexis Crundwell from Lewes Neighbourhood Response Team said: "Mark's family are desperate to hear from him, if only to know that he is well. He has been going through a rough period and according to his wife Aimee, has been feeling quite low of late.

"We would urge Mark to please make contact with his family, or the police as soon as possible. We would also like to hear from anyone who knows where Mark is staying or has seen him or his van. Please call 101 quoting serial 1437 of 20/12."

Mark is described as white, 5' 8", of stocky build with short brown hair, hazel eyes and has a small scar under his left eye and two tattoos on his chest.

He drives a white camper van, registration L92 MEP. The van has a very distinctive logo of a Roman on the front bonnet and on the back. There is also a picture of a rainbow on the van.
