Islanders in the north of the island are being asked to check their gardens and outbuildings as the search continues for a 58-year-old man who hasn't been seen in three days.

After leaving his home in Rue Du Maupertuis, officers believe Mr McGrath drove towards Gorey and then took a route across the north of the island to Grosnez.

Mr McGrath's family car, a white Ford Fiesta Zetec, was found in the car park at Grosnez Castle in St Ouen on Monday afternoon.

Police are asking people who live on arterial routes across the north of the island to check any footage from video doorbells or dashcams for sightings of Mr McGrath or the white Ford Fiesta Zetec he was driving.

Residents close to Grosnez and Plemont are also asked to remain vigilant for sightings of Mr McGrath, and to check their gardens and outbuildings.

Mr McGrath is described as a white man with white hair, approximately five feet nine inches tall and of broad build.

He is thought to be wearing a black or navy short-sleeved top, dark grey or black wide legged tracksuit bottoms (either Londsdale or Adidas brand), and black Sketchers.

Police reissued their plea to the public to keep the area clear to allow the search and rescue efforts to continue unhindered.

Agencies with specialist equipment, including Jersey Fire & Rescue crews and Air Rescue Channel Islands, are also assisting in the search.

Police would like to speak to anyone who has had contact with Mr McGrath in the last week.
