Search to find missing man Finn Coyle, 21, who was last seen leaving his Perth hills home six days ago

An urgent search is underway to find a missing 21-year-old man who was last seen leaving his home on foot six days ago.

Finn Coyle left his home on Tanner Rd in Carmel, in the Perth hills, about 2.30pm on Friday and failed to return home.

A search operation involving about 50 police and SES volunteers using a drone, dogs and horses have been scouring dense bushland near Mr Coyle’s home to locate him.

His brother Connor Coyle told media Finn had been struggling with mental health and they were worried about him because it was completely out of character.

“It’s entirely unlike him,” he said.

“We’re all very worried for his wellbeing and his welfare, he’s known to spend a lot of time in the local bush in the hill’s area.

“I think he’s very resourceful and he’s a great young man, but he’s suffering a lot of mental health.

“We’re losing a generation of young people to mental health.”

Detective Sergeant Brad Robinson said a team had been searching a massive area of thick bushland near Mr Coyle’s home since Tuesday.

“We believe he’s probably not too far from home, he likes being in the bush, that’s the type of person he is so we’re

concentrating our search efforts at this stage in and around here,” he said.

“He’s pretty resourceful this young fella, he likes being in the bush, and he likes to keep to himself.

“We don’t know whether he’s fallen and injured himself, it could be any scenario so we just want all those people that live around here to have a really good look around their backyards and properties.”

Mr Coyle is described as being 187cm tall, with a slim build, short brown hair and green eyes.

Police urged anyone who lives in the area to check their CCTV and dashcam footage and to contact police immediately with any information about his whereabouts.
