A 64-year-old man has gone missing from his home in Thetford.

Geoffrey Clarke left his house in Castle Street on his bicycle at 1pm yesterday (Tuesday) without taking what police have described as 'vital' medication.

They said it was out of character for him to go missing.

Mr Clarke was described as white, 5ft 7in, of large build with receding fair hair. He was last seen wearing jeans with large turn-ups and a blue checked shirt.

His bicycle was a black Raleigh Sport model with 'sport' written across the handlebars. It had a large dynamo on the back.

Police have asked anyone who spots Mr Clarke not to approach him but to call them immediately.

Anyone with information should call 0845 456 4567 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
