Vancouver police are seeking public assistance locating a missing man with mild dementia who has not been seen since Monday afternoon.
Francis Lunas, 77, left his home near East 29th Avenue and Rupert Street around 1 p.m. to go for a walk and did not return, police said in a Tuesday news release.
Lunas does not speak English well and anyone who sees him is asked to call 911 and stay with him until first responders arrive. He is known to collect bottles and cans, and while he has no money or cell phone, police said he may be carrying a wallet with identification inside.
