Police have released CCTV footage believed to be the last known sighting of David Ryan two weeks on from when he went missing.
The footage shows 73-year-old David Ryan near his home in Crome Road at 10.50am on Thursday 28 December 2023. Police initially believed he had gone missing the following day but following enquiries into the footage, established he was last seen on CCTV the previous morning.
Officers are becoming increasingly concerned for his welfare.
He is described as white, 5ft 3 and is believed to be wearing a black bobble hat, a long green or dark coloured wax jacket, dark trousers, and work style boots. He has shoulder-length white/silver hair.
David's family have issued a direct appeal for help from the public: "We are concerned for David’s welfare, he is someone who tends to stick to the same places in Norwich and it would be unusual for him to travel outside the county. His clothing is fairly distinctive and would appeal to anyone who may have seen him to get in touch.”
Inspector Terri Cooper-Barnes said: “We are increasingly concerned for David and are continuing searches as we try to locate him. We have been working closely with his family to keep them up to date with any developments. If anyone has any information or a sighting of David, please get in touch.”
David is known to walk around Norwich city centre and Magdalen Street, Anglia Square, Silver Road and Chapelfield Gardens in Norwich.
Police would like to hear from anyone who may have seen David.
Anyone with information or who knows of his whereabouts should contact Norfolk Police immediately on 101 quoting incident number 180 of 1 January 2024.
