UPDATE – Vernon RCMP report Kyle Macinnes returned home at about 10:15 Thursday morning.
“Our officers are currently speaking with the individual to find out the circumstances of his whereabouts for the last day,” says police spokesperson Gord Molendyk.
Molendyk is thanking the volunteers who searched the Commonage area until late Wednesday night before resuming their efforts Thursday.
UPDATE – The missing motorcyclist is Kyle Macinnes.
Search and rescue teams from Vernon, Kelowna and the Shuswap have joined RCMP to look for Macinnes.
A Vernon Search and Rescue spokesperson, Pete Wise, says the Commonage area is rugged territory and he is asking anyone who isn’t an experienced searcher to stay away.
Wise says people can help by phoning RCMP if they spot Macinnes who has an athletic build, short strawberry blonde hair, a goatee and tattoos on his left arm.
VERNON –The family of a dirt biker is worried about the man after he failed to return home from a ride Tuesday afternoon.
RCMP say the 25-year-old man was riding a grey and white Pitster dirt bike and possibly heading to the Commonage/Predator Ridge areas just south of Vernon.
“His family is very concerned as he is not a very experienced rider,” says Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “The family says it is out of the norm for him not to come home last evening.”
Molendyk says police helicopters have searched the possible areas without success.
The man was wearing a brown shirt, jeans and a black baseball cap.
Mounties are not releasing his name.
Anyone who may have seen the man is asked to call Vernon RCMP detachment: 250-545-7171.
