CCTV shows last sighting of missing RAF serviceman Corrie McKeague

Police have released new CCTV footage that shows the last sighting of missing RAF serviceman Corrie McKeague.

The 23-year-old was last seen early on 24 September in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, following a night out with friends.

The footage shows Mr McKeague in Brentgovel Street at 3.25am.

Sussex Police have combed woodland in the area alongside specialist RAF officers.

Police say no new information has come to light and they are appealing to anyone who saw Mr McKeague on 24 September to contact them.

After leaving a bar, he got a takeaway and was seen on CCTV walking with the food before sleeping in a shop door for a couple of hours.

He was believed to have been drunk and was caught on camera heading to the rear part of a row of shops, but was not seen coming back out.

It is believed he may have tried to walk back to his base at RAF Honington.

Mr McKeague's uncle, Tony Ringe, told Sky News the serviceman's disappearance was "so out of character" and there was "no evidence" he went missing "out of choice".

Mr Ringe said he wanted people to remember if they spotted his nephew in other places that night.

He said: "Could you have seen him in a vehicle with other people, not on his own, in a different context? That may help unlock a sighting."

Officers have searched a bin lorry, believing Mr McKeague's black Nokia Lumia phone had been lost or discarded and ended up in the rubbish, but it could not be found.
