- Potts was last seen at 12:20 a.m. on Saturday, August 15, after a night out with friends, heading from Wylam Bridge towards Wylam.
- Northumbria Police said it believed he had entered the River Tyne; divers and mountain rescue teams are continuing the search without a set timeframe.
- Police said officers had been called to a disturbance at nearby premises before a subsequent Wylam Bridge crash involving a vehicle and a group of pedestrians; a man and woman in their 20s suffered serious injuries not believed to be life-threatening.
- Police said Potts was on the bridge during the crash but was not in the vehicle, and there are no reports indicating he was injured; two men aged 22 and 23 were arrested and have since been released on bail.
Our searches for Liam continue but due to a range of factors, we are unable to provide a timescale for how long we will be searching in the area.— Detective Chief Inspector Sarah Robson, Northumbria Police, commenting on the ongoing search and the lack of a timescale.
