There is growing concern for an elderly man with dementia who has been missing since yesterday.

Joseph Blanc, 74, was last seen at 15.30pm on Thursday, December 1 in the Cheam Day Care Centre in Sutton.

Mr Blanc is described as black, 5ft 10ins tall and of slim build.

At the time of his disappearance he was wearing a black hat, dark puffer-style jacket, black trousers and white trainers.

Police are extremely concerned for his wellbeing, particularly due to the wintery conditions and urge anyone who has seen Mr Blanc to call the police via 101 or Missing People on 116000.
