CONCERNS are growing for the welfare of a vulnerable pensioner who has been missing since Friday.

Michael Flanagan, aged 68, went missing from his home in Bell Barn Road, Lee Bank, Birmingham.

He suffers from Alzheimer’s and thyroid problems and it is believed he failed to take his medication with him.

The pensioner, who frequently travels by bus, has been missing before. Police believe he may have travelled to another area in the West Midlands and not realise where he is.

He is of medium to large build, with grey shaven hair with a slightly soft Irish accent. He was last seen wearing grey trousers, a dark coloured shirt and tie, grey cardigan and a dark blue sports jacket.
