POLICE are once again appealing to the public in a bid to locate a missing 85-year-old last seen in Flintshire.
The force say an "extensive search operation" continues today (July 4) to locate 85-year-old George, who remains missing from home.
The last confirmed CCTV sighting of him is at 2.11am on Wednesday, June 26 walking along the pavement opposite the Texaco fuel station on Holway Road, Holywell. He was walking in the direction of Lloc and Whitford.
Specially trained officers are searching an area near to the cricket club in Carmel, Flintshire, where the last eyewitness is reported to have seen George at 3.20am in the early hours of Wednesday, June 26.
Detective Inspector Chris Owen is today making a further appeal to ask the public for their assistance.
“Whilst my dedicated team continue to follow the trail of our last known sightings of George, assistance from residents in proactively checking gardens, sheds and outbuildings will greatly assist us today,” he said.
“Your support will allow our specialist search teams to continue to focus on roads and wider open areas.
“We continue to liaise with and support George’s family during this difficult time.”
George is described as white, around 5'7" tall, of medium build, with balding/short grey hair.
The CCTV picture of him shows him in the clothes we believe he is wearing, including a blue ‘Harbour’ coat, an ‘Easy’ red striped jumper from Matalan, size 7 black fabric tampa men’s trainers and black casual trousers.
