The PSNI confirmed officers were back on the ground on Friday, with specialist resources deployed along the coastline close to Orlock Point.<\/p>\n

Mr Bryn was last seen in his home town of Groomsport on Saturday, 6 December. His last contact with family was at around 6pm.<\/p>\n

Mr Bryn is described as being approximately 5ft 10in tall, of slim build with dark hair.<\/p>\n

His wife, Nicola Williams, and the wider family circle have said they are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare.<\/a><\/p>\n

Nicola said: \u201cIt\u2019s now six days since Bryn went missing and we just want him home safe in time for Christmas. If anyone has any information at all, I would ask them to please contact police. The smallest thing might help find him.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a post on social media, PSNI Ards and North Down posted that they have deployed a highly trained specialist search dog alongside its handler to focus on specific areas of the shoreline as part of the ongoing operation.<\/p>\n

Officers were also assisted by search teams from Community Rescue Service, a charitable search and rescue organisation, which carried out searches of identified areas close to Ballyholme Beach.<\/p>\n

The renewed activity comes as police continue efforts to establish Bryn\u2019s movements and locate him, following an appeal earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Police have reiterated that the investigation remains ongoing and have again urged anyone who may have information which could assist to come forward.<\/p>\n

“We would like to know of Bryn\u2019s movements last Saturday, and would ask the public to report any sightings of him or his distinctive blue Porsche Macan, registration number OIG9692,\u201d a police spokesperson said. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe would also ask that any boat-owners in Groomsport, Bangor or any of the surrounding coastal towns check their vessels. <\/p>\n
