Police Renew Appeal For Birmingham Man Missing Since May

West Midlands Police (WMP) have renewed an appeal for information on the whereabouts of Peter Baker, who has been missing since 24 May.

Mr Baker had been staying at his sister's house on Hillaries Road, Erdington when he went missing.

Police urgently need to trace Peter who suffers with a heart condition which he needs to take medication for.

In a statement released on WMP's website, Peter's sister, Mandy Harris, said: "Peter left our home more than eight weeks ago and I'm very concerned for his health and welfare.

"He left with no medication and no money. His car is his pride and joy and he has left it parked outside. If you have seen him or know where he is, please call 101. It's the right thing to do. It might even save his life."

Sergeant Paul Robb, from Birmingham police, said: "If anyone knows of Peter's whereabouts then please make contact with us.

"Peter left his sister's without his medication and we have been told that without it he suffers a real chance of becoming ill, so we need to find him as soon as possible to ensure he is safe and well.

"I would also appeal to Peter to call us, he is not in any trouble we just need to make sure his is okay."

Anyone with any information is urged to call West Midlands Police on 101. Alternatively people can leave information anonymously by calling Crimestoppers the independent charity on 0800 555 111.
