ACT Policing and members of the ACT State Emergency Service will conduct a search on a large area of Mount Ainslie this weekend (17-18 November, 2018) in relation to a historic missing person case.

The search will predominantly take place in an area on the on the western and northern sides of Mount Ainslie, roughly bounded by the Australian War Memorial, the suburbs of Ainslie and Hackett and Mount Majura.

Police have made the decision to conduct this search following a re-examination of all the information they currently have. The search will be a concerted effort to locate fresh evidence. The family of the missing person has been informed that the search is taking place this weekend.

Members of the public in the area are likely to see up to 100 people involved in the search on both days of the weekend.

Neither ACT Policing nor the SES will be making any further comment on the search for both the sake of the family and in order to maintain the integrity of the investigation.
