Police searching for a missing man have found a body in woodland.

Nicholas Cott, from Eastry, near Sandwich, was last seen by his family at 8.30am on Friday.

The alarm was raised when the 52-year-old failed to collect his son from school that afternoon.

Police were called to Waldershare Road, in Sutton, near Dover, last night after a car believed to belong to Mr Cott was found.

Officers searched the nearby woodland and found a body.

The death is not being treated as suspicious.

Kent Police said Mr Cott's family have been told.
