Police ‘extremely concerned’ for missing dog walker
Police are appealing to the public for help to find a missing 73 year-old who has not been heard from since Monday.
Keith went to walk his dog in Blaise Woods some time after 9.30am and was reported missing after his dog returned on its own that afternoon.
A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police said they were “extremely concerned” for his welfare, and have been searching the area alongside specialist search organisations.
A police description described Kieth as “a white man, 5 foot 10 inches, tall and of medium build. He was wearing dark trousers and a waterproof jacket.”
Police are also hoping to establish the identity of an individual who located a pair of walking poles used by Keith and placed them by the wooden bridge over the River Trym, to find out where and when they were found.
Police are appealing for the public to call 999 if they see Keith, and quote reference 5223296391, or to call 101 if they have any other information.
