David Cubberley was last seen on February 11 but concerns were raised for him at around 3pm on Saturday after a local who was fishing found his boat in Hickling.

A ‘mud weight’ was left on the boat so it would not drift and police were contacted. 

Mr Cubberley was not onboard his boat and hasn't been seen or heard from.

His dog had been found nearby on Saturday at around 8am and was taken to the vets.
