Family of missing Pembroke man call for owners of boats and drones to help step up search

The family of a missing Pembroke man are calling for owners of boats and drones to help step up the ongoing search for him. 40-year-old dad Jai Holroyd was last seen on Monday, March 20 and an ongoing three day land and sea hunt has so far failed to find him.

Described as being 5ft 8ins, bald, slim and "believed to be wearing grey work trousers with black pockets and a grey Superdry hoodie," he was said to be driving a Silver Honda Civic with the registration RF07 0EW when he disappeared. Posting on Facebook his family said, "We need as many volunteers with boats, ropes, grappling hooks and drones in the Hobbs Point and surrounding areas.

"People have been amazing so far, turning up and going to beaches and other areas to look - but Jai is still missing and we need to find him."
