Pensioner 'in poor health' missing overnight from Scots town

A pensioner who is in 'poor health' has gone missing overnight from a town in Fife, sparking a frantic police search.

Robert Latto was last seen at around 8pm on Thursday, October 13 in the Woodside area of Glenrothes. The 71-year-old has not been seen or heard from since, with his family describing his disappearance as 'out of character'.

The OAP is described as being around 5ft 10, with receding grey hair. He was wearing a navy jacket with a fur hood, black Lonsdale tracksuit trousers with white side stripes and black shoes when he vanished.

Cops are now asking for the public's help as part of their ongoing enquiries to trace the well-known man as worries mount for his welfare, particularly as he does not keep the best of health.

Anyone with any information as to Robert's whereabouts, or who may have seen him since this time, is being urged to get in touch immediately.

Sergeant David McCabe, from Glenrothes Police station, said: “Robert is in poor health and this is out of character for him. Understandably, his friends and family are very concerned for him.

“Robert is well-known in the Glenrothes area and I am appealing for anyone with knowledge of his whereabouts or any information to come forward as soon as possible.

“If you believe you can assist our enquiries, please call police on 101, quoting the reference number 0169 of 14 October.”
