Alexander Cromar

June 12, 2012

The search for an 88-year-old Tyneside man is continuing a week after he went missing.

Alexander Cromar, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, was reported missing on 6 June but was last seen at his home in Jarrow, South Tyneside, on 3 June.

Northumbria Police said he was not in very good health, could become confused, was hard of hearing and they had classed him as “vulnerable”.

His family said they were concerned for his welfare.

Police said he was well known in the area and was known to travel widely on public transport.

In the past he has travelled to Newcastle, Sunderland, Chester-le-Street, Sheffield and Blackpool.

They released images of him travelling on a bus before he went missing as part of their appeal to trace him.

Mr Cromar is white, 5ft 7ins tall, of skinny build, with white hair. He sometimes wears a flat cap or trilby.

Police have appealed for anyone with information to contact them.
