An 85-year-old man is missing after leaving his home in Noranda to drive to Brookton yesterday.

Vasco Pieraccini was last seen at his home about 10.15am. Police believe he was intending to drive to Brookton to visit his son but he failed to arrive.

Police are concerned for his safety and welfare, as it is out of character for him not to be in contact with his family.

Mr Peraccini is described as fair skinned, approx 170cm tall, of medium to solid build, with brown eyes and grey hair.

It is not known what Mr PIERACCINI was wearing, however he usually wears grey clothes.

Mr Pieraccini is believed to be driving a white 2004 Toyota Camry sedan, registration 1BRT 772.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Mr Pieraccini, or the white Toyota Camry sedan with registration 1BRT 772 is asked to call Police on 131 444.
