Worry Over Missing Man Last Spotted in Walthamstow Park

Sydney Piper, 69, vanished without a trace after entering Lloyds Park via Forest Road at around 11:50am on Thursday, 23 February.

What He Was Wearing and What He Looks Like

Sydney is 5ft 7ins tall, slim, with a grey beard and short black hair. When last seen, he wore a long black coat, grey T-shirt, grey trousers, and black slippers.

Police Urge Public to Help Find Sydney

Detective Inspector Jo Watts, of the North-East 1 missing persons unit, said: “Sydney’s disappearance is out of character and we are increasingly concerned for his welfare. He is not believed to have any money or an Oyster card, and hasn’t been seen for over two weeks.”

“Specialist officers have searched the park and are reviewing CCTV footage. We need anyone who uses the park and might have spotted Sydney in the last fortnight to come forward.”

If you have any information, call police on 101 quoting reference CAD 4957/24Feb.
