“We are hoping that these new images of him from Queensbury, where he was last seen, will help anyone out there who has that missing piece of information we need. 

“The police have continually been in touch with us since Craig went missing and we are pleading to anyone who knows anything about his disappearance to urgently get in touch with the police to help find him.”

The CCTV images are from Chapel Street, in Queensbury on January 20 around 10.45pm, which shows Craig holding a laser measuring device in his hand.

They have also been continually in touch with Craig’s family, friends and acquaintances.

Detective Chief Inspector Chris Gibson, of Calderdale Police said: “We hope that releasing these new images and video of Craig that they might jog someone’s memory and members of the public can assist us in trying to trace him. 

“It is extremely out of character for Craig to go missing and for him not to be in contact with his friends and family. We have been conducting extensive enquiries for the last month to locate him. 

“I firmly believe that the answers to finding Craig lay within the Queensbury area, and once again to appeal to anyone who thinks they may have seen him, or anyone who has heard from him or knows where he is now to get in contact with the police.
