Thames Valley Police is continuing its enquiries to trace a missing man from Oxford.
Benedict, who is known as Ben, aged 20, from Oxford was reported missing on Sunday (26/1) and his last known sighting was in the Cripley Road area of Botley at around 1am on Sunday.
He was wearing a red chequered shirt over a black t-shirt, light blue baggy jeans and trainers as shown in the CCTV image.
Detective Inspector George Atkinson said: “We are carrying out ongoing enquiries in order to trace Ben.
“This includes extensive CCTV enquiries, house to house enquiries, and aerial searches of the area around Cripley Road, we are also searching along the river banks and surrounding areas.
“We are looking to deploy further resources onto the river when conditions allow, but currently the river and flooded areas are very dangerous due to the high level of the river and current flow.
“We are liaising with the Environment Agency and we would advise members of the public to not try to enter flooded areas themselves to search.
“Further search activity and enquiries are planned and we would like to thank the public for their assistance so far.
“We would ask anyone who has CCTV or dash-cam footage in the Cripley Road and surrounding areas who has not yet contacted us to please do so.
“If you have information then please contact us via 101 or add the information to our missing person’s sightings page quoting reference 43250042464.”
