Mounties say they have located the vehicle believed to have been driven by a missing 76-year-old man from Musquash.
Paul Doughty was last seen at a business near McKay Loop Road and Route 175 in the Pennfield area on Aug. 18. He was reported missing to police the next day.
Investigators said they believed Doughty was driving a grey 2013 Buick Verano with a New Brunswick licence plate.
In an update released Wednesday afternoon, police said that vehicle has since been found abandoned on a trail off McKay Loop Road in Pennfield.
“Members of the Grand Bay-Westfield detachment, RCMP Police Dog Services and the RCMP’s helicopter are searching the area,” RCMP said in a news release.
Last week, police said they had received unconfirmed sightings of the man in the Fredericton and Miramichi areas.
Doughty is described as 5’7″ tall, weighing about 100 pounds, with short grey hair and brown eyes.
Anyone who has seen Doughty or his vehicle since Aug. 18 is asked to contact Grand Bay-Westfield RCMP at 506-757-1020.
