Dive squad searches to find Nambour man

Sunshine Coast detectives have released images of items located as part of the investigation into the disappearance of Nambour man, Nate Preston.

The 20-year-old was last seen in the Mooloolaba area at approximately midnight on Sunday 22 May.

Anyone with information regarding the 20-year-old’s whereabouts is urged to come forward, anonymous reports can be made.
