Police said the search for missing Hove man Gareth Jones has been scaled down following examination of CCTV footage carried out on Sunday (January 17)
Gareth, 69, was reported missing with his brown cockapoo dog on Saturday (January 16) having not been seen since 1pm.
Officers investigating the matter have viewed CCTV from the area where he was last seen, and believe it shows Gareth and his dog "getting swept out to sea".
According to police, despite extensive searches involving officers, HM Coastguard, lifeboat crews and search and rescue volunteers, neither Gareth nor his dog have been found.
Yesterday evening, coastguard and lifeboat crews were stood down from the search, but police officers and volunteers were continuing to search the coastline.
Sussex Police sent out a message of thanks to all of those involved with the search, including members of partner agencies and the many volunteers who offered support.
