 From information received as a result of ongoing enquiries there is a possibility that these three young people may have seen Corrie in the area after the last confirmed sighting of 3.20am.

Temporary Superintendent, Kim Warner said: "We should reassure them that we just wish to speak to them as potential witnesses at this stage.

"We appreciate that getting in touch with police may be intimidating but we do need to speak to you.

"At this stage in the investigation we just need to talk to anyone who may have seen Corrie during his night out so we can build a picture.

"We need to find him and a number of enquiries are being carried out to do this but we know, from CCTV images that we have already viewed, that he engaged with a number of people during his evening out.

"We have had several calls but still need to talk to anyone who may have seen him or spoken to him during the early hours.”

The three  are all said to be aged between around 16 to 18.

One a female described as being white, of quite slim build, possibly with blonde hair, wearing either a dark green or navy blue jumper-style top,  and two males, one wearing a hooded top.

They were seen in this area of Bury St Edmunds, towards the back of Cornhill Walk shopping centre, around 4.20am on Saturday 24 September.

While there is nothing suggest they are involved in his disappearance in any way they may have information that can help progress the enquiry.
