Police seeking help locating a missing South Surrey man are hoping the release of a new photo of his dog will help jog someone’s memory.
It’s believed Tucker, a Springer Spaniel, may be with Vaclav (Walter) Simek, who was reported missing on April 10.
The dog is always by his side, police say.
Simek, 52, was last seen in late February, at his home in the 16300-block of 8 Avenue.
According to Mounties, he rented a car between Feb. 23 and March 7 to move items from his home to an unknown residence.
Since the return of the rental car on March 7, there has been no banking activity or cellphone use. There is no evidence of foul play, or to suggest that Simek has left the country.
Simek is described as a six-foot-three, 210-pound Caucasian man, with brown hair and blue eyes.
Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, call 911 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, quoting file number 2013-43817.
