Police are appealing for public assistance to help locate missing Wangaratta man Gavin.

The 56-year-old was last seen at his Wangaratta address about 9pm on Friday night.

His vehicle, a blue Nissan X-Trail bearing Victorian registration AKS955, was seen on Murphy Street about 8.30am Saturday morning.

A Victoria Police spokesperson said Gavin’s family and police have concerns for his welfare due to a medical condition and his disappearance being out of character.

Investigators released an image of Gavin in the hope someone recognises him and can provide information regarding his current whereabouts.

Gavin has short, grey hair, a thin build, and a tattoo of a magpie on his left ankle.

Anyone who sights Gavin or anyone with information is urged to contact Wangaratta Police Station on (03) 5723 0888.
