The search for a missing pensioner from Wallsend has been stood down after six days as police believe he could have fallen into a river.
Ronnie Brown, aged 81, was reported missing on Sunday (November 6), after he failed to return to his Wallsend home. But today (November 11), specialist officers from Northumbria Police have spoken to Ronnie’s family and confirmed that the search has been stood down.
This week, a search was carried out with officers trawling the wider area, reviewing CCTV and conducting door-to-door enquiries in the hope of locating the missing pensioner.
