Police Appeal To Find Missing Pensioner Who May Be On Yorkshire Coast

Sunday, 27 July 2025 06:00

Douglas Watts, who is 73-years-old was last seen leaving Scarborough Hospital at approximately 9.30am on Wednesday.

CCTV images show Douglas leaving the hospital.

Douglas is described as a white man, approximately 5 feet 10 in height, medium build with short grey hair. He was last seen wearing a beige jumper, baggy blue jeans, brown shoes, carrying a bag and with a white bandage around his right lower arm.

Douglas may have travelled towards Bridlington as he is from that area.

Police are becoming increasingly concerned for the welfare of Douglas and are conducting extensive enquiries to try and locate him.

If you see Douglas, please call 999. If you have any other information that could help find him, please call North Yorkshire Police on 101.

We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
