When filing a missing person’s report, the police require the person’s full names and ID number as well as a proper description of what the person looks like – a photo would help.

The missing person’s last known location would also help the police in their search.

“Give the police as much information as possible to help speed up the process of locating the missing person,” said Van Dyk.

“Be sure to mention distinctive features or possible skin defects, like scars, to help identify them.”

Van Dyk also warned against making false reports.

“Every missing person case is treated as urgent and immediate.

“The police spend a lot of time and resources investigating them – it is important that people do not waste our resources.”
