Friends of a Welling man missing for more than 24 hours are appealing for help as they plead with him to "just please come home".
Ollie Vines, 33, was last seen around 3.45pm on June 14 in south London, with reports of sightings so far in the Lodge Hill, Bostall Woods and Abbey Wood areas.
The 33-year-old is described as 6ft tall and of slim build, with dark or grey short hair, blue eyes, and facial hair.
He has "distinctive" tattoos on his left arm, including images of an angel, skulls, roses, and the name Penelope.
At the time of his disappearance, he is understood to have been wearing beige cargo shorts and an oversized brown T-shirt.
Friends have taken to social media to raise awareness and have been carrying out searches, asking residents in nearby areas to check gardens, sheds, parks, and woodland paths for any sign of Ollie.
A family friend said: "Sunday (June 14) was the last sighting.
"All the chaps have been out looking for him up at Bostall Heath with a lot, they're still up there now, the police.
"There's a big police presence up there now in Bostall Woods. They are doing sections, they've got the dogs out there now."
Friends have also visited Thamesmead and surrounding shops in the hope of finding new leads.
Ollie has a wife and children, and is not believed to have taken his wallet with him.
A car that friends say belongs to the 33-year-old has been found by Plumstead Cemetery, parked at the top of Lodge Hill just before the junction with Longleigh Lane.
The family friend added: "It's imperative that he is found. Just please come home.
"It's the CCTV that they are after, the police want CCTV. If anyone could look on their doorbells or anything like that...
"The more people out there, we might get a better picture."
Ollie has links to Canterbury and Welling.
A Met Police spokesperson said: “Police are carrying out searches in connection with a missing person enquiry. This relates to a missing person reported to police at 23:40hrs on Sunday, June 14.
"We thank the public for their patience while this is ongoing.”
Anyone with information or possible sightings of Ollie is asked to contact police, quoting reference CHF31492.
