A pensioner with Alzheimer’s has gone missing from his home in Mitcham and his family is growing increasingly concerned.

Patrick Lavender was last seen at around 2.30pm yesterday (March 13) when he left his home in Mitcham to walk his dog.

The 81-year-old man is white, of large build and with grey hair. When he was last seen, he was wearing a navy blue or black jacket, a red jumper, black trousers and brown shoes.

He had his sandy coloured, long-haired Jack Russel with him.

Anyone who has seen him is asked to contact officers at Merton via 101 or @MetCC.
