A MISSING persons appeal has been launched to find a pensioner who has vanished from his home.

Alec Wareham, 65, and has gone missing from his home in Boyatt Wood in Eastleigh from about 7am and has not been seen since.

Police say Alec is very vulnerable and believe he may wish to harm himself.

They say he has no money on him, and no mobile phone. He likes to walk, especially close to rivers and woods – so he could be around areas like that. 

Alec is described as around 5ft 6ins – 5ft 7ins tall, and going grey. When last seen he was wearing a white jacket, grey trousers and slippers.

Anyone who has seen him is asked to call 101.
