“The family is very worried,” Toronto police Sgt. Sin Chiu told reporters in an update provided Monday afternoon.

“They’ve been out there searching themselves. They’re obviously very upset.


Police mounted and canine units are currently taking part in the search, Chiu said. Marine units have also been utilized.

According to Chiu, Punnusamy will likely be moving very slowly, as he relies on the use of a cane that he does not have with him.

She asked homeowners to check their properties, including backyards, sheds and garages.
