Police in Edinburgh are appealing for witnesses to help trace an elderly man reported missing in the Capital.
Robert Lee was last seen in the Morningside area at around 9.45am today, however, the 72-year-old has failed to make contact with anyone since then and police are now conducting local enquiries to establish his whereabouts.
Anyone who believes they can assist officers with their investigation is asked to come forward.
Robert is described as white, 5ft 5ins tall whit white hair. He may be wearing a white tartan pattern shirt, dark trousers and shoes.
Inspector Jonathan Elliott said: “Robert is mobile and able to travel around Edinburgh and further by bus so we are keen to hear from anyone who thinks they may have seen him, either on foot, or on public transport since Friday morning.
“Similarly, anyone with information that can help us trace Robert is also asked to contact police immediately.
“I would also request that Robert make contact with family, friends or police as soon as possible to help us establish if he’s safe and well.”
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter.
