Mossos d'Esquadra have launched a public appeal to locate Jesús, a 94-year-old man who disappeared from the Can Dragó area of Nou Barris, Barcelona, on Monday, 27 April. Police are asking for public assistance to find him.
Jesús is 1.65 metres tall and weighs 75 kilograms. He has white hair and was last seen wearing a blue polo shirt and dark trousers. Police stated that Jesús has reduced mobility and uses a walking stick. He also requires daily medication for his health.
Police Seek Public Help in Nou Barris
The Mossos d'Esquadra shared his photograph on social media platforms. They urged anyone with information to contact emergency services. This action aims to widen the search across the city and beyond, according to Official Catalan Police Force. The police consider Jesús a vulnerable person due to his age and medical needs.
Nou Barris is a northern district of Barcelona, home to over 170,000 residents. The Can Dragó area, where Jesús was last seen, includes a large urban park, a shopping centre, and various sports facilities, according to Barcelona City Council official website. This busy area sees many daily visitors, both local and from other parts of Barcelona.
Community Vigilance is Critical
Public appeals are a critical tool for locating vulnerable missing persons. These appeals rely heavily on community vigilance and quick reporting. Residents are asked to check their local areas, including parks, public transport hubs, and nearby streets. Even a small detail could prove significant in the search effort.
The 112 emergency telephone number connects callers directly to police, fire, and medical services across Catalonia. It is the primary contact point for urgent situations. The police are asking anyone who has seen Jesús or has relevant information to call 112 immediately. Every piece of information can help in the search for Jesús.
