Detective Chief Inspector Peter Jones, who is leading the investigation, said: “Gwent Police and the family of Mr and Mrs Pugh are extremely concerned about the whereabouts and welfare of Pat and Robert.

“Every effort is being made to locate the couple. They are both considered vulnerable due to their age and it is imperative that they are located as soon as possible due to Pat’s ill health.

“I urge Pat and Robert to contact police as soon as possible to let us know they are safe and well and appeal to members of the public to contact police immediately if they see the couple or the car they are travelling in.”
