On Thursday, September 4 at approximately 6:00 a.m. he attended the Petro Canada gas station located at 1586 Centennial Dr, near Gardiners Rd and Highway 401.

Original release:
Detectives are looking for assistance in locating a 32-year-old Kingston resident who has not been seen by friends and family since the beginning of September.
Shawn CRICKARD was last observed leaving his family residence in the west end of Kingston on Thursday, September 4 at approximately 5:45 a.m. He was driving a blue four-door 2002 Chrysler Sebring with Ontario licence plate BNXM 195.
Family members feel this is highly unusual behaviour for CRICKARD not to return home or contact them. He had former work connections in Newburgh just north of Napanee, but Kingston Police have also recently received some information of possible activity relating to CRICKARD in the Newboro and Westport area. Family members also advise he has friends and job relations between Kingston, Cornwall and Ottawa.
CRICKARD is described as: 6’2”, 230 pounds, athletic build, medium complexion, shaved head, brown goatee, and blue eyes. He has numerous tattoos. On his left arm he has a band, a Celtic cross and the word “Raiders.” On the middle of his back is a tribal solar symbol. On his ankle is a “Dropkick Murphys” logo.
Anyone with information is please asked to contact Detective Blair Watt at 613-549-4660 ext 6320 or via email at bwatt@kpf.ca.
