Appeal to locate man missing from Faversham

Officers from Kent Police are appealing for information to help locate a 78-year-old man who has been reported missing from Faversham.

Alan Gordon is last known to have been in the Station Road area of Faversham at around 2pm on Tuesday 30 May 2017.

He is described as being white with grey hair and a slim build. He is believed to be wearing jeans and black shoes.

It is believed he may be travelling on public transport and anyone with information is asked to call Kent Police on 101 quoting 30-888.

There is no rule that states that you have to wait 24 hours to report a missing person. It depends on the person who is missing, their age, mental state and vulnerability.

If the missing person is a child, elderly or a person in a very depressed state then you need to alert the police straight away.

If the person is late home or late for an appointment, then it is sensible to try and contact the person or the last place they were, then wait a reasonable amount of time prior to contacting the police.
