Concern for Welfare – Top End

Police

Northern Territory Police hold concerns for 67-year-old Timothy Hicks.

Timothy left New South Wales on 22 June 2024, travelling in a green camouflage khaki colour 2004 Mazda BT-50 utility, with Queensland registration 126CX7. His vehicle was last seen in the vicinity of Mataranka on 27 June 2024. It is believed he was travelling towards Palmerston, stopping along the way.

Timothy is an experienced traveller and is known to camp out in the bush, however, it is reportedly out of character for him not to contact his family and friends, who reported him missing on 20 July 2024.

Timothy’s family and the police hold concerns for his welfare and urge anyone with information of his whereabouts to contact police on 131 444 and quote reference NTP2400071121.
