A missing Toowoomba man has been found alive in bushland near the Belmont Shooting Complex on Old Cleveland Road. Police located the 43-year-old father on Monday afternoon and transported him to a Brisbane hospital.
The discovery ended a major two-day search that began when the man was reported missing after leaving a Cambooya property on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle on Saturday. The search intensified Monday morning after his motorcycle was found abandoned on Chelsea Road in Ransome, a relatively secluded area.
The search operation included police helicopters scanning Tingalpa Creek areas and dense bushland. Emergency services conducted extensive ground searches around Chelsea Road, an upscale area characterised by acreage properties.
Police had requested CCTV footage from the area over the weekend. According to Facebook posts, surveillance cameras had reportedly captured images of the man at several locations around Wynnum, including a pizza restaurant.
No further details about the man’s condition or the circumstances of his discovery have been released by police.
