POLICE searching for missing Essex pensioner Harold Lloyd believe they have found his spectacles.
The glasses were discovered on top of a 6ft fence in an alleyway between the Wycliffe Baptist Church and Harwich Road.
Officers think they may have been placed there by somebody who found them in or near the alley and wanted to leave them where the owner could find them if he returned.
Police now want to locate the person who may have placed the glasses on the fence so they can establish how long they have been there.
Mr Lloyd, 85, left his home address in the Welshwood Park area of Colchester for a walk around 6.40pm on Saturday and did not return.
He is described as white, thin build and about 5ft 10ins tall. He has white hair but is balding and suffers from dementia.
Police have also asked for people living in the north Colchester area to check any outbuildings or hedgerows on their property.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 01206 762212.
