Concerns are growing for a missing Glasgow pensioner with dementia after he vanished with no medication.
Alexander Marshall, 75, went missing from the Novar Drive area in the west end of the city at around 9.40am on Tuesday, November 27. Cops say they extremely concerned for his wellbeing.
Alexander, also known as Sandy, was seen at a shop on Argyle Street at Glassford Street around 1pm, then later in the Queen Street Station area around 1.45pm.
He is described as around 5ft 8ins tall and of slim build with short, grey/white hair and a beard. He was last seen wearing a grey jumper, brown gilet, blue jacket, blue jeans, brown shoes and a black hat.
Alexander is known to travel by bus and train and although he usually stays close to the Partick and Hyndland areas, he has previously travelled to the Airdrie area and Glasgow City Centre. Bus and train travellers are asked to look out for him and report any sightings.
Alex has dementia and is not believed to have his prescribed medication with him.
Officers are reviewing a wide range of CCTV from where he was last seen in Glasgow City Centre to establish where he headed from there.
Inspector Kevin Dougall said: “Given the period of time Mr Marshall has now been missing and the cold weather conditions, we are very concerned for his safety and wellbeing.
“His family are extremely worried and just want him home safe and well.
“Enquiries and searches are continuing to trace him. Officers are reviewing a wide range of CCTV from where he was last seen in Glasgow City Centre to establish where he headed from there.
“We are grateful for any assistance from the public in sharing our appeal and reporting any sightings or information that may help.
