UPDATE: Martin Hudson has now been found.

AN APPEAL has been launched to find a missing Eastleigh man.

Police say 79-year-old Martin Hudson was last seen in the Swan Centre, Eastleigh at around 10.30am this morning (5 November).

Mr Hudson has Alzheimer’s and may appear confused.

He was last seen wearing a black hooded top, grey trousers and black trainers. He has short grey hair and stubble / facial hair.

Acting Sergeant Steven Day, said: “We’re appealing to you to keep a look out for Mr Hudson and call us immediately on 101 if you see him, or think you may have seen him since he went missing.

“Mr Hudson has no money with him, so it is very unlikely he has managed to use any public transport. However, he is physically fit and may have walked some distance in the time he has been missing.

“We have issued a CCTV image of Mr Hudson which was taken of him this morning, so you will be able to get an idea of the clothing he will be wearing. We are working with his family to get a better facial image and will send this out as soon as we can.”

If anyone has any information that could help us find Mr Hudson, please call us immediately on 101 quoting incident #265.
