He disappeared last night

The 81-year-old went missing from her home in central Katrinholm between Thursday and Friday.

Police are keen to trace the man and are now appealing.

Police are asking the public to call 112 if they have any information or observations that could help them find the missing person.

Many properties

Several alerts have been issued in hopes of finding the 81-year-old.

– He is described as narrowly built

– About 174 cm tall

– Has very short gray hair

Maybe no shoes

Also, police say the man may have a limp but is getting around without aids.

– The authority writes that it is not known how the man was dressed, and perhaps he was missing his shoes.

“Be more careful”

The police also insist that it cannot be ruled out that the person entered an unlocked place.

So the people of the area are requested to be cautious.

– Sightings of the man can be reported through 112, the police underlines.

Contributions every year

The police carry out around 300 rescue operations every year to search for missing persons who pose a risk to their lives or health.

When it goes too far, they use the EFP method of work, which is based on a method developed in North America and Great Britain.

– Swedish police include physical and psychological factors that affect how a missing person experiences and handles the situation. Based on these facts, the police have developed effective search methods, the police explain on their website.

Make assessments

Early in the process, rescue leaders make different assessments about the types of resources needed to search for a missing person.

This may include dogs, horses, helicopters, motorcycles or boats depending on the circumstances of the situation.

They may also seek help from other authorities or organizations that can contribute to the search, such as the Swedish Armed Forces or missing persons.
