Halifax Regional Police say a missing 39-year-old man has been found safe.

Michael David O’Leary was last seen by an acquaintance sometime before Christmas and reported missing Jan. 5.

His family told police that O’Leary tends to keep to himself, but they were concerned as they hadn't heard from him for some time.

Police said Friday morning that O'Leary had been found safe and sound in Halifax Thursday evening.
