Canterbury Police are appealing for everyone to keep a look out for 70 year old Noel Noonan when they travel to work or school this morning. He was last seen by those who knew him near the intersection of Middleton Road and Riccarton Road at around 2.40pm yesterday (24 February).
Mr Noonan is described as 177cm tall, slim build, distinctive walk (due to Parkinsons), black/greying short hair, blue eyes, fair skin and possibly has prescription glasses on a lanyard around his neck. He was last seen wearing grey ¾ length trousers, a polo shirt with light blue and dark blue horizontal stripes and sand shoes.
Canterbury Police would like to thank their Facebook followers and members of the public who have called them overnight with possible sightings of Mr Noonan since he went missing yesterday. While unconfirmed it is reassuring to know the community is keeping a look out for him too.
Mr Noonan is reliant on medication to keep him mobile every couple of hours and there are concerns that he is laying or sitting down somewhere and may be confused.
Police and Mr Noonan’s family have concerns for his wellbeing.
If you see Mr Noonan while you travel to/from work and school this morning please call 111 immediately.
This appeal will also be posted on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/ChristchurchPolice
Information can also be provided anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
NOTE: an update will be provided later on today.
