Local officers and CID have conducted extensive enquiries to trace the pensioner, while the Police Scotland Marine Unit and helicopter have also launched searches.

A week after his last reported sighting over 300 homes were visited with officers speaking to more than 400 people and further inquiries have revealed that he may have walked along Gartcows Road in Falkirk around 11.20pm on Friday, February 10.

Officers are now eager to speak to anyone who may have been in the Gartcows Road who may have seen him or spoken with him.

Detective Inspector Jim Thomson of Falkirk CID said: “I would like to thank everyone who has participated in the search for George, however, it has now been a week and it is imperative that we trace his whereabouts as soon as possible.

“It is now our belief that George may have been in the Gartcows Road area of Falkirk on the night of Friday, February 10. I would appeal to anyone who remembers seeing or speaking to George to get in touch with us.

“We are particularly keen to speak to anyone living in Gartcows Road with private CCTV as this may have captured images of George as he made his way along the street.

“I would again ask anyone who remembers seeing George on Friday, February 10, or recognises his description to come forward. That piece of information may be vital and may be what leads us to tracing George.”

A media and poster appeal has also been launched across all Police Scotland channels.
