Found alive and well

1 min read

Missing 48 year-old Campbell's Bay resident, Grant Atkinson, was found alive and well in Huapai Domain at 8.45 this morning by a Police and Search and Rescue team.

Mr Atkinson was disheveled and slightly disoriented when found but otherwise physically well.

Inspector Les Paterson says Mr Atkinson will remain with Police this morning before being medically assessed. His family has been advised.

"We believe he's been sleeping rough in the area - though not in the domain itself - for the past four nights since his car was parked at the Huapai Domain on Tuesday evening," Mr Paterson said.

"At this point there's no reason to believe anyone else had anything to do with Mr Atkinson's disappearance. We'd very much like to thank members of the public for their assistance in the search for him and we're delighted that he has not come to any obvious harm."
