Police have issued an urgent, renewed appeal for the public’s help in locating a 50-year-old man from Bushmills who has not been seen or heard from since a vehicle collision last weekend.
Mark Dinsmore was last seen at approximately 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 24, following a crash in the Ballybogey Road area of Ballymoney. Investigators are growing increasingly anxious for his safety, fearing that he may have sustained injuries during the impact that require medical attention.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has confirmed that extensive search operations are currently underway. Causeway Coast and Glens District Chief Inspector Clare Willis stated that officers are actively patrolling the ground in collaboration with voluntary search and rescue teams.
“The community will see us on the ground as our enquiries continue, alongside voluntary search and rescue partners,” Chief Inspector Willis said. “We want to thank everyone who has come forward with information so far, and we now want to appeal directly to anyone who may have been in the Ballymoney area at the time of this collision. Mark was driving a grey Audi A4. Even a seemingly insignificant piece of information could help.”
Mark is described as being approximately 5ft 8in tall and of medium build. He has short dark hair and was last seen wearing a red coat, a white t-shirt, jeans, and white trainers.
Authorities are urging residents in the surrounding areas to remain vigilant and assist in the search effort by checking any outbuildings, sheds, or derelict properties on their land where a person might have sought shelter.
The disappearance has left the local community and Mark’s family deeply concerned as the search enters its second week. Police are pleading for anyone with information, no matter how small, to come forward.
Anyone who has seen Mark, or who has any knowledge of his current whereabouts, is asked to contact the police immediately by calling 101. Callers should quote reference number 431 of 25/10/26 when providing information.
