The family of 29-year-old Wesley Lockyer,  is seeking any information that could lead to his return home as he has been missing since October 2022. If you have any information that may assist in locating Wes, please contact Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000.

Over the past week, a team of 20 local rangers and SES members have been seen conducting a search of an area measuring 150 square kilometers within a three-kilometer radius of the Junparinya Aboriginal Community.

To aid in the search, police deployed six vehicles, a drone, a helicopter, and a mobile police facility. The officer in charge of South Hedland Police, Senior Sergeant Gordon Armstrong, expressed concern for the welfare of Mr. Lockyer. He was last seen at the Junparinya Aboriginal Community and had not been seen since. A delay in realizing he was missing occurred as people thought he was somewhere else, but upon realizing he was not where he should be, the authorities were notified.

According to Senior Sergeant Gordon Armstrong, Mr. Lockyer is an active user of social media, but there has been no activity on his accounts and he has not been in contact with family or friends, which is unusual. He urged the community to come forward with any information they may have. He also asked anyone with information to contact local police or Crimestoppers and assured them that all information will be followed up. Mr. Lockyer is described as being 182cm tall, with a solid build, clean-shaven, and black hair in a mullet style.
