Edinburgh police launch urgent search for missing and vulnerable 83-year-old

Police are appealing for assistance in tracing a 83-year-old man missing from Leith.

Robert Low has been missing from Albert Street since earlier this afternoon Saturday 8 February 2020.

The pensioner is described as white, 5ft4 in height, of slim build and when last was seen was wearing a blue checked jumper and tracksuit bottoms.

Inspector Grant McCulloch, Craigmiller Police Station, is asking people to keep a look out for Mr Low.

He said: "We have officers carrying out a search of the area around Albert Street at the moment but would ask members of the public, especially taxi and bus drivers who may be in the area, to keep a look out for Robert.

"He doesn't, as far as we know, have any money with nor a mobile phone with him. He may have gone into one of the local licensed premises so if you have seen him, then please contact Leith Police Station via 101 and quote reference number 2477 of 8 February, 2020."
