Toronto police have stepped up their search for a 76-year-old man who went missing earlier this week from the city's west end.

Antonio Madeira was last seen on Tuesday between 10:30 and 11 a.m. in the Oakwood-Vaughan area, near Winona Drive and Mulberry Crescent.

He is described as five-foot-five and 150 pounds with a thin build, a tanned complexion, hazel eyes, balding short white hair, and a full white beard.

Police said Madeira was “possibly” last seen wearing a dark or black jacket, light khaki pants, white or light-colour shoes, and a baseball cap.

Investigators are concerned for his safety.
