PSNI renew appeal for missing Bushmills man Mark Dinsmore

Mark, who is 50-years-of-age, was last seen at around 6pm on Saturday, 24th October, when his grey Audi A4 was involved in a road traffic collision in the Ballybogey Road area of Ballymoney.

There are serious concerns for Mark’s welfare, police said, as it is believed that he sustained injuries during the collision and he has not been in contact with family or friends since.

Mark is described as being approximately 5ft 8in, of medium build, with short dark hair, and was dressed in a red coat, white t-shirt, jeans and white trainers.

A PSNI spokesperson said that on Saturday 31st October, they returned to the Ballybogey Road and spoke with passing drivers, in the hope that they may have been in the area the week before. Those we spoke to were really keen to help police with their enquiries.

“If you were travelling along the Ballybogey Road that evening and came across the collision between Mark’s vehicle and a grey Nissan Juke, please contact us,” police said.

“We also continue to appeal to anyone with relevant dash-cam footage, or any details relating to the collision or Mark’s whereabouts, to come forward. Every piece of information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, could help.

“We’d like to thank everyone who has helped so far in our search for Mark. We continue to work alongside voluntary search and rescue partners, and members of the public have assisted with the search by checking outbuildings, sheds and unoccupied buildings. Mark’s family are so appreciative of every single person who has come to their aid.”

Anyone with information should contact police on 101, quoting reference number 431 of 25/10/26.
