Police hold concerns for the welfare of 31-year-old Cameron Kemshal-Bell, who was last seen leaving his home on Lawrence Street midday Friday.
Albury Inspector Winston Woodward said a search was launched after Mr Kemshal-Bell’s white Holden Cruze was found 1.8km east of Kerr Road, Thurgoona.
“Yesterday, police received a call from the public in relation to an abandoned motor vehicle on the Riverina Highway,” he said.
“As a result of those inquiries, police attended and located a vehicle registered to a 31-year-old Wodonga man.
“He has been listed as a missing person in Victoria and police have concerns for his welfare in relation to a medical condition.
“It’s unsure at this stage if the man, due to his medical condition, needs our assistance urgently.
“This morning we coordinated a search which involves NSW police, Victoria police, NSW SES and members of the Victorian police airwing.”
After a six-hour-long search assisted by the canine unit, Inspector Woodward said there was still no sign of the man’s whereabouts.
“We’ve wrapped up for the day and we haven’t located this person yet,” he said.
“We’re making a lot of inquiries in the background and we will make a decision about where else we will search tomorrow.”
The Holden Cruze was dusted for fingerprints and removed from the scene but police say there is no indication of the circumstances surrounding Mr Kemshal-Bell’s disappearance.
His partner, Bettina Baird, shared Victoria Police’s call-out for information on Facebook, as did his sister, Georgie Kemshal-Bell.
“Please, please everyone be on the look-out for my brother Cameron … we are all so worried,” she said. “He could be anywhere by now so very share is helpful.”
Anyone who has information on Mr Kemshal-Bell, who is about 170cm tall and was last seen wearing a black jacket, dark long pants, and a grey beanie with wolf ears, is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
