Police are concerned for the welfare of a man following the discovery of medical packaging in Shrewsbury Town Centre on Saturday.
Officers are asking the man or anyone who knows who he is to contact them as soon as possible to establish his safety.
The alert was raised by security staff at the Pride Hill Shopping Centre at about 12.20pm when they found the packaging there. It is believed that the man it belonged to left the shopping centre at 9.52am, heading in the direction of the town's main bus station at Raven Meadows.
He is white, thought to be aged in his late 20s to early 30s, between 5ft 7inches and 6ft in height, with mid-length, dark brown hair and sideburns. He was wearing a khaki coloured jacket, khaki trousers, red T-shirt and dark coloured, suede pumps or trainers. He appeared to have difficulty bending one of his legs.
Inspector Graham Preece said: "Given the circumstances we are obviously concerned for this man's safety and would appeal to him or anyone who knows him or thinks they have seen him to contact us without delay so that we can establish his welfare. It may be that he is in urgent need of first aid or other medical attention."
