Police in Australia Searching for a Missing Kenyan Man

Police in Australia are appealing for information regarding the whereabouts of a Kenyan man, who has been missing for nearly two weeks.

27-year-old Erick Macharia was last seen at a home on Fairmount Street, Lakemba on March 2nd and has not reported to work ever since, according to Australian authorities. 

“He has not been seen at home since that time, and has not attended work,” New South Wales Police said in a notice.

Lakemba is a suburb southwest of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.

Officers attached to Campsie Police Area Command were notified about Macharia’s disappearance on Wednesday and commenced inquiries into his whereabouts.

“Police hold serious concerns for his welfare as this behaviour is considered out of character,” police added.

Erick is described as being of African appearance, about 185cm tall with slim build, and with dreadlocks.

Anyone with information into his whereabouts is urged to call police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Macharia, who hails from Kiambu County, left Kenya for Australia a few years ago as a student.
