RCMP is asking for the public’s help in finding a 76-year-old Penticton man reported missing late Friday evening after family had not heard from him since May 4.
According to Cpl. Dan Moskaluk, police and relatives are very concerned about Kees Van Egmond health and well-being saying it is very uncharacteristic for him to be out of contact for so long.
He added Van Egmond, described as caucasian, 5’ 9” (175 cm) 137 pounds (62 kg) with grey hair and blue eyes, suffers from diabetes and may be in need of medical assistance.

Anyone who sees Van Egmond or his vehicle or has information on his whereabouts should call 911 immediately or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
