Man missing in Kalmar – major search operation

A 75-year-old man was reported missing around 7pm on Thursday. The man was last seen at his home around 10 a.m. and is believed to have disappeared on foot.

A large search operation is underway in the community of Sandbäcken, north of Rockneby, where the police are using a helicopter and dogs.

Due to an illness, the man has difficulty walking and there may therefore be a risk that he fell. The police now want the public’s help to find the man.
