THE search to find Keith Taylor is continuing with posters being put up in public places across town.

The 76-year-old has been missing from his Connaught Avenue home since Friday.

Posters have been put up across town, including the town's train stations.

Police are asking people in Bruche and Padgate in particular to check gardens and outhouses.

Insp Matt Lagar said: “If you have CCTV or dashcam footage please check it for any sightings.”

Police are becoming increasingly concerned for his welfare and have been out over the weekend alongside the specialist search teams, dogs and the police helicopter, Cheshire Constabulary specials, and volunteers from Cheshire Search and Rescue.

As a precaution the underwater search team is also assisting due to canals and rivers being close by.

Insp Lagar added: “There is no suggestion that he has fallen into water, it is a line of enquiry that has to be followed to ensure we are doing everything to find Keith.

“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our teams including the Special Constabulary and Cheshire Search and Rescue volunteers for their continued help and support. Keith’s family appreciates the support from everyone, including the public, at this distressing time.”

Keith Taylor was last seen by his family at his home address at 7.30am on Friday and has not been seen since, despite an extensive search by officers.

There had been a further sighting at 2pm on Friday in Connaught Avenue and officers are continuing to follow up other possible sightings made by members of the public.

Keith is described as 5ft 4ins tall, white, with grey hair which has flecks of black in it, and a grey moustache. He is likely to be wearing blue jeans, which are frayed at the bottom, and a navy Regatta zip up jacket. He is frail and sometimes walks with a stoop.

Anyone with any information is urged to call Cheshire Police on 101 quoting incident number 786 of December 15.
