Police are appealing for information to trace a vulnerable man missing from his Clapham home.

Rupert Bartley, 79, was last seen by his wife at his home in Santley Street at about 6.30pm yesterday (Tuesday, May 21).

At around that time Mr Bartley walked out of the address without telling his wife where he was going.

Mr Bartley is black, about 5 ft 11 in, of medium build and was last seen wearing a grey coat and checkered flat cap.

He suffers from Alzheimers and can become easily confused. He also suffers from high blood pressure and diabetes which requires regular medication, but he does not have this with him.

He is fond of travelling on the bus, particularly in the Brixton area, and he often wears his Oyster pass around his neck on a ribbon.

Mr Bartley did go missing recently and was found in the Merton area, even though he has no specific connections to that area.

Anyone who has seen Mr Bartley or knows of his whereabouts should call Brixton police station via 101 or 0208 649 2191 and quote the reference number 13MIS016341. Or contact the charity Missing People on 116 000.
