Gypsumville RCMP are asking for the public's help locating a missing man last seen more than a week ago.

Family members last heard from Douglas Gordon Pruden, 51, of Little Saskatchewan First Nation on April 29.

His family is "very concerned for his well being," said RCMP.

Pruden is described as approximately five feet 10 inches tall (177 centimetres), weighing 180 pounds (81 kilograms), with shoulder-length hair usually tied in a pony tail and brown eyes. Officers said he wears glasses and his left eye is artificial. He has a tattoo of a heart on his left hand. Pruden is also believed to be clean shaven.

He was last seen wearing a black leather jacket, dark-coloured sweat pants, black rubber boots and a dark-coloured baseball cap.

Anyone with information on his location is asked to contact Gympsumville RCMP at (204) 659-2682.
