Police are now asking home and property owners to search their yards, sheds and other outbuildings, and any unused or abandoned vehicles including RVs and campers.

Property owners are also asked to check along fences, under decks and shrubbery and even open areas.

The new areas of focus are the neighbourhoods from the Transcona area to Whitmore Park.

Uniformed officers and members of Search and Rescue Regina (SARR) performed a sweep in the area of 3rd Avenue and Arthur Street in the Rosemont neighbourhood this past weekend.

It involved officers going door-to-door and in some cases entering yards to check garages and sheds.

Regina Police searched the city dump for signs of Chukwudum on Friday “while the opportunity existed”.

No sign of him was found at the landfill. A police spokesperson said in a missing person case there are many possibilities and they try to eliminate possibilities one-by-one.

Police determined he was last seen on Nov. 17 around the Marshall Crescent area.

Chukwudum is described as black, approximately five-feet-11-inches tall, 240 pounds, with a medium build with short brown hair.

He was last seen wearing a dark hoodie, light-coloured sweatpants and a dark-coloured toque.

Officers and members of Search and Rescue Regina (SARR) have already conducted a sweep of the neighbourhood surrounding Marshall Crescent.

Police are asking anybody with information to contact the Regina Police Service at 306-777-6500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
