Early Tuesday morning, PNP officers found an 82-year-old man near Alcoentre Prison in Azambuja Municipality.
A man has been missing from his home in Bombarral since Monday morning and the family has alerted the GNR.
The Leirian command of these security forces immediately took action. The military managed to detect a GPS signal on the elderly man’s mobile phone and discovered that he was located near the Alcoentre prison.
A guard at this prison confirmed to the GNR that he came across a car with the characteristics of an elderly man.
The vehicle was later found buried in the mud near IC2.
The elderly man was said to have suffered a bout of dementia and drove aimlessly about 26 kilometers to the location where he was found. Although he was very disoriented, he was healthy. He was taken to the Vila Franca de Xira Hospital.
