An at-risk 80-year-old man who had been last seen in West Los Angeles, prompting the issuance of a Silver Alert, has been found.
Nicholaas Hoogesteijn had been last seen around 8 p.m. Wednesday near the area of Westwood and Olympic boulevards, according to the California Highway Patrol, which activated the alert on behalf of the Los Angeles Police Department.
He has since been found, but details about when or where he was located were not provided.
The Silver Alert program was established by the CHP to issue and coordinate alerts involving the unexplained or suspicious disappearances of elderly, developmentally disabled or cognitively impaired individuals.
