Police 'extremely concerned' about welfare of missing Padiham man
Peter Beason was last seen over a month ago
Lancashire Police have issued a fresh appeal to find a Padiham man who has now been missing for over a month.
Peter Beason went missing from the Station Road area of Padiham at around 11:10am on 22 March.
The 58-year-old was spotted again on CCTV at around 5pm on 23 March walking from the medical centre car park in Station Road with an umbrella in his right hand.
He walked to the end of the road and turned right onto Burnley Road.
Around 25 minutes later, he was seen walking across the front of the fire station before crossing Station Road just before the bridge.
He was carrying the umbrella and a box in his right hand.
The last confirmed sighting was at 12:31 on 24 March in the Grove Lane area as he was heading into the countryside.
Peter has links to Burnley and Padiham.
Officers think he stayed on foot but could be anywhere within Lancashire, close to the border or actually in North or West Yorkshire.
He is described as 5ft8in tall, of slim build with brown and grey shoulder-length hair.
When he was last seen he was wearing pale jeans, a grey and black long-sleeved fleece and a blue waterproof jacket with a hood.
He was carrying a red and black rucksack.
Lancashire Police said:
"Due to the passage of time we are extremely concerned for his welfare.
"For immediate sightings of Peter, please call 999."
Anyone who has seen Peter is asked to call 101 or email forcecontrolroom@lancashire.police.uk, quoting log 0511 of 26 March.
