Police are growing concerned for the welfare of 79-year-old Hungarian man Laszlo Kovacs who is missing from the Herringthorpe area of Rotherham.

Laszlo was last seen at his home address on Beaumont Drive by his daughter around 12.30pm yesterday, Thursday, 20 May 2010.

He is described as white, around 5’4” tall with a ‘pot belly’, speaks good English, and was wearing beige trousers, polo shirt (colour unknown), black shoes and black socks when he was last seen.

Laszlo suffers from a heart condition and epilepsy, which is controlled by medication that is not believed to be in his possession. Officers do not believe he has access to a vehicle, as his car remains at his home address.

Anyone with information about Laszlo’s whereabouts should contact South Yorkshire Police on 0114 2202020 quoting incident number 1374 of yesterday, 20 May.
