Appeal to find Toowoomba man
POLICE are investigating possible sightings of a Toowoomba man reported missing from the Sunshine Coast.
Brendan Blatchly, 50, is believed to have been involved in a police incident at Caloundra on Monday night, and has not been seen since.
Caloundra police Officer-in-Charge Senior Sergeant John Mahony said investigations were continuing, including validating sightings from around the area yesterday.
“We are conducting further inquiries (yesterday) in relation to Mr Blatchly,” he said.
“We are investigating a couple of sightings but they are yet to be confirmed.”
Snr Sgt Mahony said Mr Blatchly was involved “in an incident with police” on Monday night, but was unable to release details except that the East Toowoomba man allegedly “threatened violence”.
“Police would be advising members of the public not to approach him,” he said.
“We are not aware of any intelligence he is armed.
“We have had two members of the public attend Caloundra police station with information regarding that individual.”
He said police were yet to determine why Mr Blatchly was on the Sunshine Coast.
Mr Blatchly is described as 176cm tall and has a proportionate build with short brown hair and hazel eyes.
