A man who disappeared from his residence on Sunday morning has been found, the police announced at 9 p.m. on Monday. The police did not suspect any crime behind the disappearance and had launched an operation under the Accident Prevention Act to locate the man.
“He has left this accommodation on his own,” said Sara Andersson, press spokesperson in the South police region.
The man, who has difficulty knowing if he is cold or hungry, was taken very seriously by the police, especially due to the cold temperatures outside. The police were very keen to receive information from the public as they searched for the missing man.
“It is very cold outside and he has been missing for a day and a half now, so we are very keen to get in all the observations we can get,” said Sara Andersson earlier on Monday evening.
At 9 p.m., the police announced that the man had been found and was in good health under the circumstances.
“The man has been found and is doing well under the circumstances. He is now being checked by the medical service and will then go home,” the police wrote on their website.
The police have advised the public to keep an eye on the emergency number for any future updates.
