West Shore RCMP is requesting the public’s assistance in locating a missing Langford resident. Grant Kinnear was last seen on Tuesday January 14, 2020.

Description of Grant Kinnear from West Shore RMCP: Caucasian male, 29 years old, 5 ft 11 in (180 cm), slim build, dark brown hair, blue eyes.

Grant was last seen leaving his house on January 14 driving a white 2019 Ford Ranger pickup with the BC licence plate of NM4981. He was possibly headed up North on Vancouver Island. That’s the evening where there was a lot of snowfall and increasingly difficult driving conditions; the next morning at 7:35 am there was a driving advisory from the Ministry of Transportation for people to avoid any unnecessary travel between Nanaimo and Victoria.
