Police are growing concerned for a missing man with dementia.
John Love, 69, was last seen leaving his home address in Victoria Gardens in Airdrie at around 9.30am on Monday.
He was seen heading towards West Kirk Street and police said his family are “extremely worried” about his welfare.
Mr Love is 5ft 8in with a medium build. He was last seen wearing a grey polo shirt with thin grey stripes, blue jeans and white Adidas trainers.
Officers have appealed for residents in Airdrie, Chapelhall and Coatbridge to check gardens and outbuildings for any sign of the 69-year-old.
Sergeant Mark Chivers said: “This is completely out of character for John and it is vital that we find him and confirm that he is OK.
“I am appealing to local residents in the Airdrie, Chapelhall and Coatbridge areas to keep a look out for John and report any sightings to police.
“I would also ask people to check their gardens and any outbuildings in case he has sought shelter there.
“Anyone with information regarding John’s whereabouts is asked to contact Coatbridge Police Station via 101, quoting incident number 0981 of Monday 13 August 2018.”
