Posting a message of thanks on the forces North Flintshire Facebook page, a police spokesperson said:
“We would just like to thanks staff at Asda and McDonalds in Queensferry today who were fantastic.
Sarah and Jan from Asda took care of an 82 year old gentlemen with dementia who had wondered in to the store and was confused.
They gave him a sandwich and the kind staff at McDonalds gave him two coffees before contacting us.
We managed to locate his carer and the gentlemen was returned home safely.
It’s nice to be reminded of the good people in our community. Thank you.”
Thank you to the team in @asda Queensferry and to @NWPolice for their assistance in locating our missing gentleman and getting him home safely this afternoon ❤️ https://t.co/xfJvzeiSmU
