Gates Police are searching the town for a missing man: 57-year-old Donald Phillips of the Silver Birch Apartments of Wegman Road. He frequently walks to the local restaurants and bars in the Buffalo Road-Wegman Road area, but has not been heard from since November 3rd.
Police say they’re doing a ground search and also using a State Police helicopter to help them search the woods and ponds around Wegman Road, Buffalo Road, Pixley Road and the 490 Expressway.
Police say they’d appreciate if people who live in that area would walk their property and check any storage sheds, campers and boats they might have.
