The Beverly Police Department has issued a notice for a missing elderly male who may be suffering from dementia. Charles, an elderly resident of New Balch Street, reportedly left his home on foot two hours ago and has not returned since. The police have turned to social media in hopes of garnering public assistance in locating him. According to the post by the Beverly Police Department, Charles was last seen wearing a grey T-shirt with a blue vest.
In their appeal to the public, the Beverly Police have asked that anyone who sees Charles or has information on his whereabouts should contact them at 978.922.1212 immediately. It is crucial in cases involving individuals with dementia who left his residence unattended and are at greater risk for harm or getting lost. The community's swift contribution to the effort to find Charles can be essential.
The police notice did not specify the direction in which Charles might have headed nor any possible destinations he might aim for. However, they stress the urgency of the situation due to his condition. The public's vigilance is requested, alongside the standard caution of not approaching or attempting to restrain someone who appears disoriented or confused, which can sometimes exacerbate the distress for individuals with dementia.
Details about Charles' physical description or medical condition have not been elaborated upon beyond his potential dementia diagnosis and his attire. Residents of Beverly and the surrounding areas are urged to keep a watchful eye for an elderly man matching Charles' description. Police ask, wearing a grey T-shirt and blue vest, that you report any sightings or any relevant information that may help reunite him with his family.
