POLICE are reissuing an appeal to help locate an 81-year-old man from Salisbury who went missing from a care unit and may be headed to Bath.

Philip was last seen in the Fountain Way area at around 10.30am yesterday morning (December 28).

He is described as approximately 5ft 7ins tall, of average build, with white/grey hair. It is unknown what he was wearing.

Officers say they are increasingly concerned for his welfare and advise that Philip may appear confused.

Inspector Emily Grigor said: “Given his age, we are increasingly concerned for Philip, who has not been seen for 24 hours. He left the care unit where he was staying and may be trying to make his way to Bath, where his wife lives.

“We are working with local bus companies and partner agencies to try to find Philip. I would urge anyone in the Fountain Way area to check in and around their properties, including gardens, and also review any private CCTV or doorbell footage for sightings of Philip.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 999 quoting log number 121 of yesterday’s date (28/12).
