Delta police officers are looking for witnesses after a man went missing over the weekend on a ferry bound for Tsawwassen.

At about 1: 30 p.m. Sunday, officers were called to the Tsawwassen ferry terminal after a report of a missing person. A 51-year-old man was last seen by family members on the 11 a.m. ferry from Swartz Bay. However, when the ferry arrived in Tsawwassen he could not be found by family members or B.C. Ferries staff.

Upon reviewing footage from on-board surveillance cameras, it appears a man went overboard during the sailing.

The area between Active Pass and the Tsawwassen terminal was searched for five hours Sunday afternoon without locating the man.

Delta police spokesperson Const. Ciaran Feenan said the investigation is still ongoing but there is no plan to recommence the search.
