## Summary

A man reportedly took his elderly parents, both living with dementia, from a Surrey care home after telling staff he was taking them to lunch, then travelled with them to Iran. The couple did not return, and the case has raised concerns about their welfare and the risks they may face there.

The son reportedly told care home staff by phone that his parents were on a plane to Iran. A relative of another resident said he had complained about their care and had told people in a WhatsApp group of his plan; a photo shared in the group showed the couple in wheelchairs in Shiraz. The UK government advises against all travel to Iran, and Surrey Police said it was aware of the incident, while adult social care had been notified.
