A reward of £10,000 has been offered for information that leads to the recovery of missing County Down man Pat McCormick.

Mr McCormick, a 55-year-old father of four, was last seen in Comber on Thursday 30 May. He is believed to have been murdered.

A number of searches have been carried out for Mr McCormick.

The reward for information is being offered by the Crimestoppers charity.

Susan Brew, the charity's Northern Ireland Manager, said Mr McCormick's family were "completely devastated about what has happened".

"They are all desperate for answers and want to know where his body is so they can hold a funeral," she said.

"We believe everyone has the right to live their life safe from crime.

"This case has shocked the community across Northern Ireland."
