Police are appealing for public assistance to locate an elderly man missing from Sydney's CBD.
Chinese National Shaojin Juo, aged 80, was last seen near the QVB building on the corner of George Street and Market Streets in the city about 4.20pm yesterday (Sunday 21 July 2024). He was last seen on CCTV footage heading east on Market Street.
When he could not be located, officers attached to Sydney City Police Area Command were notified and commenced inquiries into his whereabouts.
