THAMES Valley Police are searching for a missing elderly man who may be in the Bournemouth area.

Conrad Hooper, 87, was last seen by his family leaving home in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, at around 1.30pm on Wednesday, and was last spotted at London Marylebone Station later that day.

Police are concerned for his welfare, due to his physical frailty and mental state when leaving home, and it is out of character for him to go missing for so long.

Mr Hooper is white, of stocky build, around 5 feet 3 inches tall, bald on the crown of his head, and was last seen wearing a cream jacket and light grey trousers.

Contact DI Deborah Goff of Thames Valley Police on 101 with information, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
