Police are continuing to search for a man who went missing at Galiwinku on Sunday.

The 54-year-old man is believed to have gone fishing by himself at Mission Beach about 8:00am Sunday and has not been seen since. Family members have informed Police that the man always goes fishing at the beach and will often wade in the water.

Local police, Territory Response Group (TRG) members, NT Emergency Service personnel, Mathakal Rangers and community members, are all continuing to conduct air, land and water searches of the coastline today.

Police yesterday located a number of the man's personal items, including clothing and fishing gear.

It is alleged three crocodiles have been sighted in the area and members from TRG with assistance from Parks and Wildlife, have since destroyed one of the animals. On further examination of the crocodile no human remains located.

The search and rescue operation will continue throughout today.

NT Police remind Territorians and visitors not to become complacent when it comes to crocodiles. Be CROCWISE- croc danger is real, so don't risk your life. If there is no sign, do not swim in the area.
