Police appeal for missing Walthamstow man last seen more than two weeks ago

Police are searching for a man from Waltham Forest who has been missing for more than two weeks.

Sydney Piper, aged 69, was last seen entering Lloyd Park in Walthamstow, through the Forest Road entrance, about 11.50pm on Thursday February 23.

He is described as 5ft 7ins tall, of slim build, with a grey beard and black hair. He was last seen wearing a long black coat, grey T-shirt, grey trousers and black slippers.

Detective Inspector Jo Watts, from the missing person unit in north-east London, said:"Sydney’s disappearance is out of character and we are increasingly concerned for his welfare.

“He is not believed to be in possession of any money or an Oyster card and there have been no sighting of him for more than two weeks.

"Specialist officers have carried out searches of the park and we continue to recover CCTV from the area. We also need to hear from any people who use the park who may spotted Sydney over the past two weeks.”
