The Hamilton Police Service continues to seek the public’s assistance in locating missing person Brandon Pollock, 31-years-of-age, from Hamilton.
On Tuesday, September 10, 2019, shortly after 4:00 a.m., Brandon Pollock was last seen leaving his residence in the area of Herkimer Street and Caroline Street in Hamilton.
This was out of character for Brandon and there is concern for his well-being.
Earlier this month, Hamilton police issued an update about Pollock’s disappearance. They said Brandon is known to leave his house at that time in the morning to clear his head but always returns home a couple of hours later, according to his mother who heard him leave the morning of September 10.

Brandon did not return home nor did he attend school that day, subsequently resulting in his mother becoming concerned and reporting him missing.
On September 10, 2019, police say three men on a boat observed a man swimming near the lift bridge in Lake Ontario, about 1 km off the shoreline, directly in the middle of the boat channel. The boaters went over to check on his well-being.
The swimmer advised that he was okay and waved them on.
The boaters drove by a second time as their instincts indicated that this was not normal and recorded their conversation with the man.
The man advised again that he was okay and encouraged the boaters to move along.
Later that evening, the boaters observed the media release/photo about the missing male and immediately called police to provide them with video and photos.
The family has viewed the video and photos, and believe that the male in the video is Brandon.
Brandon is described as having a medium build and weighing approximately 165 lbs. He has an active lifestyle and is a mountain climber. He is also a local transit user and walks everywhere. He is known to frequent the downtown core and Bayfront Park.
Anyone with information on Pollock’s whereabouts is urged to call Central Patrol Staff Sergeant’s office at 905-546-4725.
