Moment frail missing pensioner uses cane to walk along street: Police release CCTV in hopes of tracing 89-year-old who vanished DAYS ago
Footage shows Malcolm, 89, was last seen on Wednesday walking along Westfield Close in the area of Hull Road in Easington between 8am – 9.30am on the day of his disappearance.
The frail man vanished days ago and police are 'growing increasingly concerned for his welfare.'
Officers have trawled the area knocking on the doors of locals, diving through hours of CCTV and even used scent dogs - but have been unsuccessful in their search for Malcolm.
The force have urged the public to check their gardens, sheds, outbuildings and any covered areas as they believe the pensioner could be found sheltering there.
They are also keen to speak to pedestrians and drivers travelling along Hull Road around the time Malcolm was last seen and have said motorists shoul check their dash cam footage.
Leading the she search, Inspector Will Knapp at Humberside police said: 'We have been trawling hours of CCTV and doorbell footage, conducting house to house enquiries and area searches of rural locations to try and understand which direction Malcolm may have travelled in since leaving his home.
'As part of those enquiries, the CCTV footage shows Malcolm walking along Westfield Close at approximately 8.10am that morning (Wednesday, 4 June).
'Malcolm is then thought to have walked towards the junction of Hull Road before heading west at approximately 8.15am. This is the last confirmed sighting of him.
'He is described as being approximately 5ft 8ins tall with grey hair and is thought to be wearing a grey gilet with brown trousers and carrying a walking stick.
'From this point, with support from specialist trained search officers, scent dogs and the Underwater Search unit, alongside partnering agencies and Malcolm's family and friends, teams have been extending their searches we continue to conduct further lines of enquiries to understand Malcom's movements and try and trace his next steps.
'As part of this, we are keen to speak to pedestrians and motorists travelling along Hull Road between 8am and 9.30am around the time Malcolm was last seen. I'd also encourage anyone who has any CCTV or dashcam footage around this time to please get in touch.
'We would also urge members of the public to check sheds, outbuildings and any covered areas, if your neighbours are away, please check their gardens too.'
He added: 'Anybody who has any information, no matter how small, dashcam or CCTV footage, or who may know where Malcolm may be and can assist us with locating him to please contact us our non-emergency number 101 quoting log 177of 4 June.'
