A motorbike found on the Dartford Crossing has sparked a police appeal.

Martin Cobb, from Greenhithe, was last seen at around 7am on Monday, before his bike was found later that day at 2pm on the QEII Bridge.

Kent Police were joined by officers from Essex to conduct a search, however the 40-year-old was not found.

Mr Cobb is white, with short dark brown hair, and is thought to have been wearing a maroon polo shirt, blue jeans, and a flat cap with a 'peaky' pin badge.

He has a tattoo on his left upper arm of a compass and a ship.

Inspector Henry Sandhu of Kent Police said: "We are keen to find Mr Cobb and I would urge motorists driving over the QEII bridge between 1.50pm and 2.20pm on Monday, February 25 to check their dashcams to see if they captured any footage that may help us with our inquiries."

Anyone with any information about Mr Cobb is asked to call Kent Police on 101 quoting reference 25-1001.
