Ex-pats asked to help find missing Briton in France

British police are appealing to the ex-pat community in France to help them trace a missing man who they believe may be in the country.

David Chitty, aged 48, was reported missing from Worcester on 17th November by the city’s Newtown Hospital and staff and the local force, West Mercia Police, are increasingly concerned about his welfare because of his medical needs.

Mr Chitty is believed to have caught the 1530 hours train from London St Pancras Station to Gare Du Nord International station in Paris on 17th November, but has not been seen by French police since his arrival.

Officers from Worcester Police Station have asked their counterparts - and members of the public across the English Channel - to now look out for Mr Chitty at, or near, 1 Rue de la Grotte, Lourdes, France.

“There is ongoing concern that Mr Chitty will have become confused and may be behaving oddly, having missed his medication,” said a police spokesman. “There is now substantial information that he is in the Lourdes area and probably at the Rue Des Grotes address.”

 Mr Chitty is described as white, 5ft 8ins tall, of heavy build with dark brown hair with a quiff and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a blue shirt, brown cardigan and trousers.

 Anyone who believes that they can help in the search for him is urged to call West Mercia Police on +44 300 333 3000, quoting 572S/171109, or to contact their local police in France.
