Police in York are urgently appealing for help to locate 76-year-old Anthony Atkinson who has been reported missing from home.



Anthony, who is from the Acomb area, was last seen by his family on Tuesday morning (27 July 2021) when he left for a walk.

It is completely out of character for him not to return home and to be out of contact on his mobile phone for so long.

It is also believed he is without his regular medication which has heightened the concern for his welfare and safety.

Anthony is described as white, 5ft 10in tall, with grey hair down to his collar and stubble on his face. He was last seen wearing a black body warmer with a royal blue jumper underneath, light blue jeans and grey shoes. He has a walking stick and walks with a noticeable stoop. He also has a tattoo on his arm of a naked female.



Please note, the above photograph of Anthony is approximately ten years old.

If you have seen a man possibly matching Anthony’s description during Tuesday or you have any information that could help bring him home safely, please get in touch without delay.

Please call North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 1, and speak to the Force Control Room quoting reference number 12210169245. For an immediate sighting, please call 999.

Appeal to find relatives of missing man who was found dead in river

POLICE are appealing for help on behalf of the Coroner's office to trace family members of a man who was sadly found dead in the River Ouse.

Anthony Atkinson, 76, from York, went missing on 27 July, but sadly his body was recovered from the river a few days later.

Officers need to trace his two sons who are believed to be from the York area and possibly aged in their 50s.
 
Living in the area, it’s heartbreaking to read about people found dead in the river Ouse almost on a weekly basis :(
