Police are becoming increasingly concerned about an 84-year-old man with dementia who has been missing for over 24 hours.

William Thom is from the Bishopbriggs area and was last seen on Bath Street in Glasgow City Centre at 1.53 pm on Wednesday, August 4.

He is described as being 5ft 11ins tall, slim built with grey hair at the sides and bald on top.

When he was last seen, he was wearing navy trousers, an olive green coloured fleece and a grey baseball cap.

Chief Inspector Craig Walker said: “Along with his family, we are becoming increasingly concerned for William’s welfare.

“He suffers from dementia and as such we are keen to find him as soon as possible.

“I would ask anyone who may have seen him, or anyone with information that could help us to trace him, to please contact local officers as soon as possible via 101, quoting reference number 2700 of 5 August, 2020.”
