Kent Police have launched an urgent appeal for information regarding the whereabouts of Curtis Samuel, a 23-year-old man who has been reported missing from Lympne.
Curtis was last seen in the village on the morning of Sunday, 23 February 2025, and there has been no contact with him since. Police and family members are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare.
Curtis is described as 5ft 7in tall, with long brown hair and distinctive tattoos — notably three roses on his neck. While it is unclear what he was wearing when he was last seen, police noted that he typically dresses in baggy clothing.
Authorities believe Curtis may be in the Newington or West Hythe areas, as he is known to frequent these locations.
A spokesperson for Kent Police urged the public to assist in the search. “We are concerned for Curtis’s safety and are appealing to anyone who may have seen him or has information about his whereabouts to come forward. Even the smallest detail could help us locate him.”
Anyone who sees Curtis or has information that could assist the investigation is asked to call 999 immediately, quoting reference 23-1238.
The community is also encouraged to share the appeal on social media to help spread awareness and bring Curtis home safely.
