Raif Sistek, who lives in Wester Hailes Park, went missing at about 12:30am on Thursday.

He is described as white, about 5ft 10 ins in height, of stocky build with brown eyes with dark circles underneath, shaved grey hair and clean shaven. He was also possibly wearing a checked shirt, navy trousers, brown jacket and white trainers.

Police said he usually walks with the aid of a stick but he doesn't have it with him so he will walk with a stoop.

Inspector Claire Masterton, of Wester Hailes Police Station, said: "Raif has never been missing before and his family are concerned for his welfare. We don't believe he has any money nor mobile phone with him but may have a bus pass.

"We are asking if anyone has seen him, knows where he is or has any information that will help us find him and get him back to his family, who are very worried for him, then please contact officers at Wester Hailes Police Station via 101 quoting reference number 0514 of 4 June 2020.”
