Police divers have now joined the hunt for missing man Luke Fergusson, as the desperate search by police, SES volunteers and local residents continues.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old was reported missing from Stalworth, near Proston, last Friday.<\/p>\n

Divers have begun checking local dams and waterways.<\/p>\n

Police and SES volunteers have been searching a 27 sq km area near Proston, Stalworth, Abbeywood and the surrounding region since the weekend.<\/p>\n

Aircraft – including the AMSA Challenger Jet, the Sunshine Coast and Bundaberg-based rescue helicopters – have joined volunteers on quad bikes and horseback.<\/p>\n

Many of the searchers gathered on Wednesday morning at 307 Abbeywood- Proston Road, where a centre has been set up, supported by the local QCWA.<\/p>\n

Police and family are concerned about Luke\u2019s welfare due to the cold weather and the time since he was last seen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He is described as Caucasian, approximately 175cm tall, with a proportionate build, brown hair and brown eyes.<\/p>\n

Luke also has a medical condition and may appear disorientated if sighted.<\/p>\n

Police continue to appeal to residents within the South Burnett to check their properties and review their CCTV or dashcam footage over the past few days.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information about Luke\u2019s whereabouts is urged to contact police.<\/p>\n
