AN URGENT appeal has been launched for a missing 56-year-old man.
Bashir Lorgat, who is missing from his home in Blackburn, was last seen in the Burnley Road area at around 11.20 yesterday morning (October 10).
Officers have reason to believe that he requires important medication which he does not have with him.
Mr Lorgat is an Asian male, 5ft 5in tall and of medium build. He has a long black beard.
He was last seen wearing light grey long Asian dress, a white prayer hat, a check navy/grey blazer, black shoes and glasses. He was carrying a large green holdall bag.
Aside from Blackburn, Bashir has links to Bury and Haslingden.
PS Ashish Patel of Blackburn Police, said: “We are extremely concerned for the welfare of Bashir who has been missing for over 24 hours now. He requires medication which we do not believe he has on him.”
If you have seen him please call us as soon as possible on 01254 353901 or 101 quoting log number LC-20191011-0014
