Police are appealing for public assistance to help locate missing man Ishmail.
The 82-year-old left his Carinlea property about 7.20am on Sunday, 21 September.
He was last seen by a member of the public in Brimbank Park about 6.30pm.
Police and family have concerns for Ishmail's welfare due to his diagnosis of Alzheimer's and a condition that requires medication. In addition to this, his disappearance is out of character and the weather has been cold and rainy overnight.
It is believed Ishmail is travelling by foot and does not have access to a phone or money.
Further resources including SES and Air Wing are currently assisting with a grid search of the Cairnlea and Keilor East area.
Ismail is short in stature, with a medium build, and was last seen wearing a black beanie, black jumper, grey trackpants and black shoes.
Ishmail walks with a stoop and his hands behind his back.
He is known to frequent the Sunshine and St Albans areas.
Investigators have released an image of Ishmail in the hope someone recognises him and can provide information regarding his current whereabouts.
Anyone who sights Ishmail or with information is urged to contact Sunshine Police Station on (03) 9313 3333.
