Search Resumes For Missing New Lambton Man

BY IAN CROUCH

A search has resumed for a missing New Lambton man.

Mitchell Hancock was last seen leaving his home in Clarence Road at about 3 o'clock on Tuesday morning and there are concerns for his welfare as he's missed appointments and hasn't shown up for work.

He was driving a blue Holden Berlina with the NSW registration BRB 26U.

A search of bushland near Toronto was undertaken yesterday involving police and a rescue helicopter when information was received that he may have been in that area.

The search was called off overnight due to fading light and is expected to resume today.

Further information has since been received that Mr Hancock may possibly be in the Freemans Waterhole area.

Police are asking the public to keep a lookout for Mr Hancock and contact them immediately if they see him.

Mr Hancock is described as being of Caucasian appearance, about 175cm tall with a solid build and has fair hair with a beard and moustache.

Anyone who knows of his whereabouts should contact triple zero (000).
