Police search for missing 89-year-old

UPDATE: Missing Bendigo man Herbert McRorie, 89, has been found alive and well. 

A missing 89-year-old Bendigo man could be in Geelong, according to police.

Herbert McRorie was last seen at an address on Stevenson Street, Bendigo, last night about 5.45pm.

Police believe him to be driving a silver 2004 Ford Fairmont sedan with registration STJ755.

Mr McRorie is Caucasian and of medium build with brown eyes and a grey receding hairline.

At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a blue and white flannelette shirt, dark grey track pants and beige shoes.

Police and family hold concern for Mr McRorie due to his age and a medical condition. Police said he is known to frequent Geelong.

They released an image of Mr McRorie on Monday in hope someone recognised him and could provide information regarding his current whereabouts.

Police urged anyone who sees Herbert or his Ford Fairmont sedan to phone Bendigo Police Station on 5448 1300.
