AUBURN — Police are continuing their search for 58-year-old Darren Cyr, a local man who has been missing since Friday, Sept. 12. The effort resumed today after an extensive search of the Mill Street area began yesterday.
In a social media post today, the Auburn Police Department informed the public that a large police presence will resume in the Mill Street area as the search for Cyr continues with the use of drones, K9s, and a Massachusetts State Police helicopter.
“We are continuing our search for Mr. Cyr and covering a significant amount of area,” the department said. “Once again drones, K9’s and the State Police helicopter may be utilized. Please give Law Enforcement space to work, and as always if you see something say something.”
Yesterday, the Auburn Police Department, assisted by outside agencies, conducted a large-scale search in the Mill Street area, and the public was asked to avoid the area. The search was suspended in the evening.
Darren Cyr, 58, of Auburn, was last seen by friends and family on Friday, Sept. 12, and was later reported missing to Auburn police. As of Wednesday morning, he remains unaccounted for.
In a post announcing Cyr as a missing person, police refuted false claims circulating on social media that he had been found, describing them as both untrue and unhelpful.
“Please ignore any comments here stating he is found as they are untrue, and honestly, unhelpful,” the department said. Adding, “Thank you to those who offered to help search- every resource we have is and will be utilized.”
Anyone with information regarding Darren Cyr’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Auburn Police Department at (508) 832-7777.
