A 32-year-old Coquitlam man disappeared in the North Shore Mountains Sunday and today RCMP dive teams plan to scour area rivers, streams and lakes for any sign of Mark Smith.
Smith's vehicle was found Monday morning abandoned at the north end of Riverside Drive in North Vancouver near the popular Baden Powell Trail.
North Vancouver RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Peter Devries said Tuesday that more than 30 volunteers were searching for Smith in the North Shore wilderness while the RCMP's Air 1 helicopter searched from above and at least one Canadian Coast Guard vessel combed area waterways on Monday.
North Shore RCMP have been distributing flyers with Smith's picture to local residents and businesses, hoping someone may have seen him.
Smith is described by police as a Caucasian man, 5'10" tall and weighing 175 lb.
Police are asking anyone who was in the area of the North Shore's Baden Powell Trail near Riverside Drive at the time of Smith's disappearance Sunday to contact them if they think they might have seen him.
Anyone with information on Smith's whereabouts is asked to call the North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311.
