The search for missing man Zane Stevens has reached its fourth day, with specialist resources from Perth being used to look for the 21-year-old, last seen 30km north of Broome.

Mr Stevens was last seen near Coconut Wells on Friday, April 26, travelling in a grey 2023 Toyota LandCruiser.

It is believed his vehicle became bogged in marshland, resulting in Mr Stevens taking off on foot.

The area is bordered by extensive bushland, making finding the man a challenging task for emergency services.

Police remain hopeful Mr Stevens will be found alive, as the area is rich in natural water, stemming from nearby Willie Creek.

Broome police Supt Steve Johnson told the media in Perth on Monday it was believed there was a second person in the vehicle, but they became separated while seeking assistance.

Anyone who sees Mr Stevens is urged to contact police immediately on 131 444.
