Police are appealing for information about the whereabouts of Romanian tourist Vasile Belea, aged 63, who was last seen at Stockwell underground station on Tuesday, 14 January at 10:00hrs.
Vasile (dob 1.1.1951) was travelling with his son to central London when they became parted on the Victoria-bound platform. The son got on the train but the doors closed before his father could join him.
Vasile’s movements from then on are unknown.
He may have got on the following train or tried to return to Hackbridge, Sutton, where he had been staying at his son’s address since visiting the UK for the first time in December 2013.
PC Richard Owen, from Sutton’s Missing Persons Unit, who is leading the investigation, said Vasile had come over to enjoy Christmas with his son before returning to Romania at the end of January.
Vasile speaks only very limited English.
He is described as 6ft tall with grey hair. He was wearing blue jeans, a long dark black jacket and a black flat cap. He has money and an Oyster card but was not carrying any medication for his arthritis. He has an iPhone but no SIM card so cannot be contacted.
If you see Vasile, please contact police in Sutton on 101. Alternatively, you contact the Missing People charity on 116 000.
