Toronto police are concerned for the safety of a former Waterloo region resident who has been missing since Friday and who does not have the ability to care for himself.
On Tuesday, Waterloo regional police extended the plea issued by Toronto police earlier this week for information on finding 37-year-old Nathan. Police did not release Nathan’s last name.
Nathan was last seen in the area of Jane Street and Sheppard Avenue area of Toronto just before the weekend.
“Nathan has been missing for a couple days now and does not have the ability to care for himself for this long,” spokesperson for the service, Victor Kwong, told CTV News Toronto.
Police set up a command post in the area and were conducting a grid search covering roughly 300 square meters.
"Nathan has Down Syndrome and his cognitive function is diminished," said Duty Insp. Ryan Fore of Toronto police. "He functions at a seven-year-old level."
Nathan stands four-feet-six-inches tall and weighs approximately 170lbs, police said. At the time of his disappearance, he had a full beard and moustache.
Police are asking people to check their backyards, sheds, outbuildings, home security video, and dashcam footage. Anyone with information to contact them at 416-808-3100.
