A HAROLD HILL mum has today (Tuesday October 5) made an emotional plea to help find her missing son.

Vulnerable Gary Cornwall disappeared without trace from Smart Close, Harold Hill, at about 1pm on Thursday September 9.

Family members have been unable to contact the 38-year-old, who has previously suffered a stroke and has speech difficulties.

Mum Margaret Cornwall said: “Gary needs to take 10 tablets a day for his health problems. We’re worried that he might get ill or have another stroke without them. It’s been 27 days now and I’ve been suffering panic attacks - I just want him to come home.”

He is white, approximately 5ft 8ins tall, and of medium build. He has short brown/greying hair, green eyes and walks with a limp.

A police spokesman said: “Officers are very concerned for his safety and urge anyone who has seen him or who knows where he is to call police immediately on 999 or 0300 123 1212.”
