Police are searching a Spalding property today (Tuesday, August 18) as part of a murder investigation relating to a man from Leicester last seen alive in April 2024.
A police cordon was reportedly put in place earlier today around a home in Holbeach Road.
Leicestershire Police say it’s in relation to ongoing enquiries into the death of 60-year-old Gary Piatek.
Eight people from Leicester, Bournemouth, Birmingham and London are currently charged in connection with his death.
A spokesman for Leicestershire Police said: “Police are in attendance at an address in Holbeach Road in Spalding as part of ongoing enquiries into the death of Gary Piatek.
“No-one was arrested at the address.
“A warrant was executed at a house in Broad Avenue, Leicester, in February this year. This was following the last proof of life of Mr Piatek in April 2024.
“The investigation included extensive searches carried out over a number of weeks, including ground penetrating radar and groundbreaking equipment.
“Mr Piatek’s body has never been found.”
Police only named the man they were search for on February 12 this year.
A spokesman at the time said: “Specialist support is being provided to a number of his close friends.”
