Halton Regional Police is requesting the public’s help in locating a missing Burlington man.

Brendan Craig, 23, was last seen just before Christmas, on Saturday, Dec. 20, after he was dropped off at Burlington Mall by a friend.

Craig last communicated with friends through Facebook on Jan. 5.

He was reported missing to police on Jan. 13 by a close friend who received a Facebook message from him.

“The message caused concern enough for the friend to report him missing, Burlington Det.-Sgt. Ron Hansen told the Post. He wouldn’t provide details of the Facebook posting.

“It would be our hope that if he is fine that he contact us and let us know,” said Hansen.

“Obviously, people can chose no to be found as long as there are no concerns for their wellbeing and they are old enough to make that decision.”

Hansen said Craig does not work or go to school and is estranged from his only family, a sister and brother-in-law.

Police believe Craig does not have any serious medical issues.

Craig is described as white, 5-foot-9 and 146 lbs., with red hair, brown eyes and an average build.
