Appeal to find missing man, 57, known to visit Aylesbury and Slough town centres

Thames Valley Police is appealing for the public’s help in locating Ivan Smith who has been reported missing from Aylesbury.

The 57-year-old was last seen at 4am on July 30 at his home address by care staff.

He has not been seen since, and police are becoming increasingly concerned for his welfare.

Ivan is a mixed-race man with a medium build and very short hair.

He usually wears a cap and is often dressed in cold-weather tracksuits, regardless of the weather.

Police said he typically appears unkempt and always carries an orange school-style backpack.

Ivan is believed to travel by train and is known to frequent Aylesbury and Slough town centres.

If you have seen Ivan or have any information that could help officers locate him, call 101 quoting Occurrence Number 43250386883.
