On the evening of June 11, around 9 pm, a 70-year-old man named Zhou from Taoyuan got lost while out alone and collapsed on the roadside at the junction of Section 3 of Zhongshan Road and Shan Ye Road in Hukou Township, Hsinchu County. Yangmei police officers were alerted by passing citizens, who then escorted him to the police station to rest. After confirming his identity and address, they successfully escorted him back home. It was later discovered that Zhou suffered from dementia and often thought of his old home in Fugang, Yangmei District, prompting his sudden outing. Police urged families with dementia patients prone to wandering to take precautions, such as applying for an 'Angel Bracelet' or having their fingerprints filed with the police for easier identification in case of getting lost.
