Toronto police continue to ask for the public’s help in locating a missing man last seen in Scarborough Sunday morning.
Jayaratnam Punnusamy, 84, was last seen in the Midland and Lawrence avenues area at around 5:30 a.m.
He is described as five-foot-five, 185 pounds, with a heavy build, grey receding hair, and a goatee.
He was last seen wearing grey track pants, a blue fleece jacket, and a white sweater.
“The family is very worried,” Toronto police Sgt. Sin Chiu told reporters in an update provided Monday afternoon.
“They’ve been out there searching themselves. They’re obviously very upset.”
Police mounted and canine units are currently taking part in the search, Chiu said. Marine units have also been utilized.
According to Chiu, Punnusamy will likely be moving very slowly, as he relies on the use of a cane that he does not have with him.
She asked homeowners to check their properties, including backyards, sheds and garages.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-4100 or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
