The search for missing TV doctor Michael Mosley will continue on Friday with more officers, according to police on the Greek island of Symi.<\/p>\n

A local Facebook group said Mosley, known for appearing on programmes like This Morning, went for a walk from Saint Nikolas Beach<\/a><\/strong> at about 1.30pm Greek time on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Police and firefighters have since used drones to scan the island, which is about 25 miles north of Rhodes, while a helicopter was deployed at about 7pm local time on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The search for the 67-year-old has been paused for the night, but police said “more men will be coming” on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

A statement from local police, which has been translated, said officers were informed about the “disappearance of the 67-year-old British national on the island” on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Police then asked for assistance from the Greek fire service, with six firefighters, a vehicle and a drone team arriving from Rhodes at about 2pm on Thursday.<\/p>\n

It’s said the rescue operation is focusing on the Pedi area of the island after a woman reported seeing him there on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Another woman in the area said Mosley’s disappearance was “strange” as the path he was thought to be on is “clear”.<\/p>\n

“It’s a quiet place\u2026 if you see the map of the area it’s a clear path, it’s nothing dangerous,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Many people go every day, every few minutes, that’s the reason it’s very strange because it’s a clear path.”<\/p>\n

A Foreign Office spokesman said: “We are supporting the family of a British man who is missing in Greece and are in contact with the local authorities.”<\/p>\n
