Last Tuesday afternoon, 30-year-old Don Choy left his New Westminster home and hasn't come back.
Now, police are asking for the public's help in locating the young man. New Westminster police are especially concerned with finding Choy because he is required to take medication daily and they don't believe Choy took the medication with him when he left on Oct. 8.
"Failure to take this medication, even for a short period of time, would most likely result in his hospitalization," Sgt. Paul Hyland said in an email.
While police aren't releasing what medications Choy is taking, or why, Hyland said Choy's family is very concerned about the impact not taking his medication could have.
Choy, whose official name is To Lam Choy, left the family home in his 1991 black BMW 318 IS, licence number 068GXX.
Choy is Asian, wears glasses, weighs 130 lbs, 5'9" tall with a slim build and collar-length black hair. He was last seen wearing a black jacket, black shirt and blue jeans, and usually has a "very neat" appearance, according to the release.
"Checks of local hospitals have proved negative at this time and his current whereabouts and condition are unknown," stated the release.
Police are expected to release an update on the search for Choy sometime during the next few days, Hyland added.
If anyone has any information on Choy's whereabouts or has seen him, contact New Westminster police at 604-525-5411.
