AN 87-YEAR-OLD dementia sufferer is missing from his home in Thornliebank.

Shing Cheung left his home in Brent Gardens at around 9.30am and has not been seen since.

Mr Cheung is around 5ft 7 inches in height with a thin build and black, greying hair. He was wearing a grey jacket, blue trousers and light brown shoes.

Police said he often visits the Boydstone Park area.

Officers are reviewing CCTV in a bid to trace him.

Inspector Alan Scullion said: “Given Mr Cheung’s age and the fact that he has dementia, our concern for him and his well-being is growing. If anyone has seen him or has any information as to his whereabouts, I would ask them to contact us as soon as possible. His family is understandably very concerned for him and just want to know he is safe and well.”
