Peel Regional Police are continuing their GTA-wide search for an elderly Brampton man who has been missing for three days.

Shamsher Virk, 69, was last seen around 6 p.m. Thursday in the Ivy Lea Court and Forrester Drive area, north of Chinguacousy Road and Steeles Avenue West, after he went for a walk.

Police and family are concerned for Virk’s well-being because he is diabetic and has not taken his medication.

Virk is known to walk long distances when disoriented and has walked to Toronto in the past, according to a Peel police spokesperson.

Police are asking residents to check their properties and nearby open spaces.

Virk is described as South Asian, standing 5’6”, 160 pounds, with a long white beard and a medium build.
