Missing 56-year-old man from Co Down sparks police appeal

Police in Co Down are concerned about the welfare of a missing 56-year-old man.

George Carling was last seen at around 12.30pm on Tuesday afternoon (January 25) in Downpatrick.

Mr Carling is described as 5ft 8in tall, of medium build and has short, grey hair.

It is believed he was last seen wearing blue jeans, a navy and grey "Jack Jones" hooded top with a navy coat and a pair of black Skechers trainers with white soles.

He also has access to a 2009 silver Toyota Avensis with a County Cork Republic of Ireland registration plate.

Anyone with information regarding Mr Carling's whereabouts or any potential sightings of the 56-year-old should ring 101, quoting reference number 1528 of 25/01/22.

According to the Missing People charity, somebody is reported missing every 90 seconds in the UK, equating to a total of 170,000 people.

Of that number, almost 98,000 are adults and more than 70,000 are children.

The charity also states that 75% of adults are found within the first 24 hours of being reported missing and 85 per cent are found within two days, while five per cent are not found in the first week.
