POLICE have confirmed that Brian Bennett has been found safe and well.

The family of a missing 61-year-old from Evesham say they are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare following his disappearance.

Brian Bennett was last seen at around 4.30pm yesterday (April 1) and failed to return to his home.

He is described as 5"4, of large build with grey balding hair, a beard and glasses. Brian has two hearing aids and was last seen wearing black trousers and red canvas shoes.

He drives a Volkswagen Golf with the registration VE64 GKY.

Brain's family and the police are concerned for his welfare, particularly as he suffers from heart problems and because his disappearance is out of character.

West Mercia Police have launched an appeal to find Brian and are urging anyone who may have seen him or his car to contact police immediately on 999 quoting incident number 602 of April 1.
