Police Request Public Assistance to Locate Man Missing at Sea, 2 November

Just after 5:15PM, yesterday 1 November, police were alerted to a report of a man missing at sea.

30-year-old Thomas Owen Robert Bush, of North Side, was reported as going out to sea with another man, who is not yet been identified by the police, on Wednesday 25 October, 2017, but to date he has not returned home.

Mr. Bush was last seen in the Windsor Park area wearing jean shorts and T-shirt, and was said to have left for sea in a 28ft canoe.

The Port Authority has been notified of the report and has issued a notification for all boat captains to be on the lookout for the vessel and missing boaters.

The police are currently trying to determine a possible location of the vessel in which Mr. Bush departed in order to deploy further search and rescue efforts.

Pictures of Mr. Thomas are attached.
