Missing Norman Galbraith may have walked to his childhood Co Derry home
POLICE searching for a missing man suspected he walked off to see his childhood Co Derry home.
Normal Galbraith, who is 66, has not been seen since Friday.
A number of sightings have now been reported, leading officers to believe he may have walked to Castlerock where his childhood home is located.
They said this is a journey he has made before.
A PSNI spokesman said police and a community search team are continuing their efforts and appealed for information.
“Last night his wallet was found by a man walking a dog at Garryduff Road/Queen’s Park near Dunloy.
“We have also had a report from a woman who knows him and believes she saw him in Coleraine on Saturday morning,” they explained.
“Both of these are consistent with him being on a route to Castlerock.
“We are grateful to those who have contacted us to date.
“We are also asking landowners between Ballymoney and Castlerock to check sheds and out farms in case Mr Galbraith sought shelter from the poor weather.”
Norman Galbraith left his home in Queen’s Avenue in Ballymoney around 10pm on Friday to go to a local shop.
He normally takes medication for high blood pressure and is thought to have injured his head in an incident several days before he went missing.
He is described as being of a small, thin build and has grey hair.
When last seen he was wearing a navy fleece, navy tracksuit bottoms and black shoes.
Police said: “If you can help, please call the police 101 number and mention the reference 1123 of August 1 2015.”
