Thomas Farrar: police asking for public help to find missing man from Bury, 79

Police are urgently asking the public to help them find a missing man from Bury.

Thomas Farrar, 79, was last seen in the Kersal area of Prestwich at 9.38am on Wednesday (31August).

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) say they are becoming increasingly concerned for Thomas’ welfare and are asking anyone who might be able to help them find him to come forward.

Thomas is described as a white man, around 5’6” tall, of slim build with greying hair, balding on top, with glasses. He was last seen wearing a dark green coat, blue jeans, baseball cap and blue trainers with a white sole. He was also carrying a black rucksack.

Police say Thomas regularly frequents Swinton Precinct in Salford and he may present as being somewhat confused.

GMP have also released a CCTV image of him which they say is the most up-to-date picture of him.

Anyone with information about Thomas’ whereabouts is being asked to contact GMP on 0161 856 2225.
