Police in Inuvik say they are working on “any and all leads” with ground searches for missing Lance Briere having failed to find him so far.
The 32-year-old has reportedly not been seen since February 8. He was reported missing earlier this month and coordinated search efforts began a week ago.
RCMP have described him as “an Indigenous male, approximately 5 ft 9 in tall and weighing approximately 160 lbs.”
Police have said they think he is in possession of a black 900 Ace Ski-Doo Expedition LE and, while he has ties to the Yukon, police believe he is still in the NWT.
Providing more information in a Thursday news release, police said the last confirmed sighting of Briere was at Inuvik’s liquor store on February 8.
