THE family of a 77-year-old man who has been missing for 10 days have appealed for his safe return.

Graham Collett was last seen at around 10.30am on Tuesday 3 March in the Ellwood Road area of Milkwall near Coleford.

His brother Ian Collett has now issued an appeal for him to get in touch and let everyone know he is safe and well.

He said: “We just want Graham to come back and to know that he is ok.

“The family are extremely worried about him and I’d urge anyone who may have seen him, or has any information about his whereabouts, to come forward.

“These last couple of weeks have been very difficult for us as we struggle to understand where Graham may have gone.

“If you are reading this, Graham, please call and let us know that you are safe.”

Extensive searches have taken place since last week, and officers with specialist search training have been conducting house to house enquiries, searches on the ground and reviewing CCTV.

There has also been support from the Severn Area Rescue Association and South West England Rescue Association.

Numerous potential sightings have been reported to police, and officers continue to work through these, however so far none are confirmed to have been Graham.

Graham is a keen walker and has been known to walk long distances in the past.
