Paul Maurice, 66, was reported missing on Monday (29/9) and was last seen riding his bike along Lye Green Road at 3.30pm.

He was also later seen walking, but still wearing his cycle helmet, in Braziers End, Bellingdon at 6.40pm.

Mr Maurice suffers from Alzheimer's and needs to take regular medication.
Search teams, a helicopter and trained dogs are being used to scour the area and posters are being circulated in places Paul likes to visit.
Det Insp Sharon Hill said: "The community, neighbours and friends, ramblers and members of the cricket club have mobilised themselves to search for Paul by taking walks he may have been on."
Anyone who thinks they may have seen Mr Maurice or his bike is urged to contact Thames Valley Police on 0845 8 505 505 quoting urn 1111 of 28 September.

He's been found in the moat of Dundridge Manor near St Leonards and taken to Stoke Mandeville Hospital to recover. (Shouldn't you be telling me this ?)
