Members of the community across Caversham have come together to search for a missing man last seen over a week ago.

According to a post on social media, Gareth was last seen on CCTV returning to his boat on Tuesday, October 15.

A search group has been organised to assist friends and family in their search efforts.

This will start from Caversham Rowing Club at 11 am on Saturday, October 26. Dog walkers, cyclists and joggers have been welcomed to help in the search for Gareth.

People online have said that due to the treacherous flow of the river, it has been impossible to send boats or divers into the water in search of the missing Caversham man.

One person who has joined the search said: “Can we say thankyou to everyone who has offered to print off leaflets/posters. It is greatly appreciated.

“If anyone else wants to print anymore off we are having a group search Saturday morning.”

The Chronicle has contacted Thames Valley Police for more details.
