Severn Area Rescue Authority search teams were deployed to Lydney on Sunday (November 3) to search waterways and other areas with colleagues from Cave Rescue.
Last night (Tuesday, November 5), police were also handing out leaflets to passengers as part of the search for Michael Denon-Ross, aged 59.
He described as suffering with a mental illness and having taken no medication with him.
A SARA spoksperson said on Monday after searching the Lydney Canal and other areas: “Sadly neither we nor the police were able to locate the man.
“Land Search Teams from Beachley and Tewkesbury and a water search Team from SARA Sharpness were deployed to support Gloucestershire Police, alongside Gloucestershire and Midlands Cave Rescue.”
Michael was repor- ted missing from the Horton Road area of Gloucester on Thursday evening (October 31).
Gloucestershire Police say Michael has a “serious mental illness and no medication” and fear he may have headed for secluded areas or ditches.
A force spokesperson said: “He caught a train and it is believed he got off at Lydney or Chepstow.
“We are very concerned that Michael may come to harm and are asking people in the Lydney, Chepstow and wider area to be on the lookout for him, particularly dog walkers who may pass through more rural locations.
“Anyone who has seen him or knows of his whereabouts is asked to call 999 or 101 quoting incident 478 of 31 October.”
Michael is described as being a white man who is around 5ft 11 inches tall and has brown/grey balding hair and is unshaven.
When last seen he was wearing a brown jacket, blue striped shirt and dark coloured trousers, as seen in the picture, left.
He often wears a green cap and is known in the Henrietta Street area of Cheltenham.
