Police have made a fresh appeal for a man who went missing with his vehicle more than eight weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Aydan, aged 39, was last seen in Chartwell in Hamilton before he went missing<\/a> on Sunday, August 17.<\/p>\n

He was believed to be driving his 2016 grey Mazda ute, with the registration QYA209.<\/p>\n

Detective Sergeant Jonathan Carter said Aydan’s family and police were hoping for someone to come forward with information about the Mazda ute.<\/p>\n

“Have you seen a grey ute anywhere? Perhaps you’ve noticed it hasn’t moved?<\/p>\n

“If you’ve noticed a grey Mazda ute somewhere across the region, we would like to hear from you.”<\/p>\n

Both family and police had serious concerns for Aydan’s wellbeing.<\/p>\n
