Update 3: Missing man, Charters Towers

Police are continuing their efforts to search for a Newcastle man missing in the Charters Towers area.

Jayden Penno-Tompsett (pictured) was last seen in the early hours of December 31, 2017 in the vicinity of a roadhouse located on Thompson Street (Flinders Highway) in Charters Towers and has not been seen since.

Police hold concerns for his welfare as he has had no contact with family or friends which is out of character for him, lack of supplies and high temperatures.

Around 20 police with the assistance of 32 State Emergency Service and 12 Rural Fire Service volunteers have continued to search in Breddan since first light on Saturday morning.

Aerial searching is also being conducted to locate the man but has so far been unsuccessful.

Jayden is described as Caucasian in appearance, 175 centimetres tall and brown hair.

He was last seen wearing a black singlet, navy blue board shorts, and black and red thongs.

Property owners are urged to continue to check their properties.

Inspector Roger Whyte said the coordinated multi agency response has assisted search efforts.

“In maintaining high numbers of persons it has helped to undertake an exhaustive search along many dry creek beds with heavy vegetation, within a large geographical location spanning some 85 square kilometres,” Inspector Whyte said.

“Police a very keen to hear from any one that has seen Jayden and in particular the red Nissan Pulsar Sedan with NSW registration CN3 2ZB, within the Charters Towers area from 3am on Sunday, December 31 and throughout the day.

Anyone who may have seen Mr Penno-Tompsett or knows of his whereabouts is urged to contact police.
