St. Thomas police have mounted a search effort in the Dalewood Conservation Area for a man reported missing on Tuesday.

St. Thomas police officers and a volunteer search and rescue organization are searching the Dalewood Conservation area on Friday for a man reported as missing.

Ruhirwa Nzabonimpa was last seen on Tuesday, Nov. 18, in the area of Dalewood Road.

On Thursday, police released an image taken from a security camera showing a man wearing a fur-lined hat with a brim, a hoodie, and a black leather coat.

Friday morning, nearly a dozen members of the London Search and Rescue (LSAR) organization joined St. Thomas Police officers as they combed through trails, brush, and a campground.

A forensic team used a drone on several occasions.

Despite the increased police presence, the case remains a missing person case, confirmed Staff Sergeant Aaron Fraser.
