A man reported missing at the weekend was found safe and well on Sunday morning.

Shepparton police said the wife of the 85-year-old Shepparton resident raised the alarm after her husband went missing from their home at about 10pm on Saturday, November 9.

He was found wandering on Hosie Rd, Shepparton East, at around 8.30am on November 10 after numerous sightings were reported by community members who had seen details of the missing man on social media, according to police.

Police said the man was taken to hospital for general observation but was unharmed in the ordeal.

Police thanked the community for their help in finding the man, averting what could have easily been a negative outcome with the temperature rising above 26°C on Sunday.
