Victoria police searching for 'high-risk' missing man
Police are asking the public for help finding a 59-year-old Victoria man who has been missing for over a week.
Victoria police say Timothy Mackness was last seen in the Jubilee neighbourhood on Sept. 20 and was reported missing on Sept. 26.
Mackness is considered a high-risk missing person. Police describe him as a white man standing 6' tall with a slender build. He has blue eyes and brown hair.
Under B.C.'s provincial policing standards, a "high-risk missing person" is someone whose health or well-being may be in danger due to physical or mental illness, addictions, disability or age.
The category also applies to someone who is a member of a vulnerable group; someone who is believed to be a victim of a crime; or someone who has gone missing in an area where weather or other physical conditions may pose a danger.
"While investigators have no direct information that Timothy is at immediate risk of harm, the circumstances under which he has gone missing are considered to be high-risk," Victoria police said in a statement Thursday.
Anyone who sees Mackness is asked to call 911 immediately. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call Victoria police at 250-995-7654.
