POLICE are appealing for help to find a missing 81-year-old man who may be in Swindon.

Clive was last seen leaving his home in Lower Earley, Reading in a red Mazda 3 at 10.30am on Tuesday.

He was wearing a brown cardigan, dark brown trousers, a navy coat - possibly with a Land Rover logo on it - and a cap with a peak which was grey and yellow in colour.

Clive is known to frequent Swindon, Wokingham, Reading, and Hampshire.

Thames Valley Police Inspector Alan McIlwain said: “We are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of Clive, who was reported missing by his family on Tuesday evening after not returning home.

“His vehicle was captured on ANPR heading towards Winchester in Hampshire on Tuesday, and so as well as releasing an image of Clive, I am also releasing an image of his vehicle.
