Police continue search for potentially armed man in rural Queensland
A Queensland Police operation to locate a missing man believed to be in possession of a firearm continues in the state's north.
A 44-year-old man, Marcus Bismark, has been missing for over six days after disappearing on a rural highway in Queensland. The search for the potentially armed individual began when his vehicle broke down, forcing him to walk along the Gregory Developmental Road, approximately 250 kilometers west of Townsville. Police suspect Bismark is carrying a firearm and are conducting a comprehensive search operation in the area.
Described as around 180 centimeters tall with a solid build and dark complexion, Bismark was last seen wearing long, black pants and no shirt. His family is particularly concerned for his welfare due to a medical condition. Authorities are urging the public not to approach Bismark but to report any sightings to Triple Zero (000).
Additionally, police are appealing to motorists with dash cam footage showing Bismark in the region to come forward with this information.
