The police have gradually stepped up the search since the man disappeared at half past seven on Wednesday evening.

At half past five during the night of Thursday, the police began a special incident.

- We have quite a lot of patrols out now, it's about 10-15 patrols, says Peter Adlersson on Thursday morning.

Can move quickly

The man is demented but gets around without problems on his own.

- He walks well and can get there quickly, says Peter Adlersson.

It was the man's relatives who alerted the police.

Several dog patrols searched during the night.

During Thursday, they will also receive help from the military.

About thirty people from the Home Guard had arrived at eleven o'clock on Thursday morning.

- We have quite a lot of resources in place, but it's good to have help.

We really hope we will find him again, says Peter Adlersson.
