Coastguard and police dogs called in
A substantial search is now underway in the Douglas area for a local man missing for over 24 hours.
Police dogs are being used in the wooded area around the Nunnery and a lifeboat is scouring the south-east coast.
56 year old John Bridson is a white male of medium height. When last seen, in Douglas on Monday, he had on dark tracksuit bottoms, a grey jacket and a grey and blue jacket.
Coastguard members have been called in and are helping police, with police dogs, check a number of areas around the capital.
Douglas lifeboat was launched just before midday, first along the south-east coast, now heading north towards Laxey.
Police are asking members of the public with any information to contact headquarters on 631212.
