Thames Valley Police is appealing for public assistance in locating a man from Wheatley, Oxfordshire, with officers expressing concern for his wellbeing.

The force is searching for Gordon, who was last spotted at the intersection of Parks Road and Broad Street in Oxford at noon on Friday, March 20.

The 52-year-old remains missing, and while police have flagged welfare worries, they have emphasised the public should not be alarmed as he is not thought to pose any danger.

He is described as a white male of slim build, with baldness and greying hair at the temples, along with a white beard and moustache. He wears thick black spectacles, has no tattoos or body piercings, and was dressed in beige chino trousers, brown lace-up shoes and a black waterproof jacket.

PC Lawton urged anyone with information to come forward, noting Gordon has connections to both Oxford City and Kidlington. The missing man was last observed in Oxford’s city centre.

Anyone who may have seen him is asked to contact Thames Valley Police on 101 or submit a report via the force website, quoting reference number 43260137724.
