Peter also wears glasses and may have a walking stick.

Constable Rachael McIntrye of Drylaw Police Station said: "It is out of character for Peter not to be in contact with his family and friends and they are understandably worried. Peter has never been missing before. If anyone has seen Peter or has any information or knowledge of his whereabouts, please contact the police.”

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting incident number 1745 of 12 August 2022.
