WALTHAMSTOW: Concern for missing man

4:08pm Thursday 2nd February 2012 in Waltham Forest News By Daniel Binns

Have you seen Simon Balunga?

A MISSING 68-year-old from Tottenham may be in Walthamstow, police say.

Concern is growing for the welfare of Simon Balunga, who was last seen walking down the stairs into Brixton Tube station at 7.30pm last night (Wednesday February 1).

He was due to take a Victoria line train back to Tottenham Hale station where he would have walked home to Bream Close where he lives with his wife.

But he never turned up and has not been seen since.

A spokeswoman for Waltham Forest Police said he may have gone to either Blackhorse Road or Walthamstow Central station instead.

Mr Balunga who suffers from the early signs of dementia, is described as black, approx five foot eight tall and is of a slim build.

He was wearing a distinctive grey coloured, diamond-patterned beret, a grey/green suit, a padded black anorak and black shoes. Anyone with information on Mr Balunga's whereabouts is urged to call police on 101.
