The father of a Croydon man who’d been missing for the best part of four days has emotionally thanked everybody who helped find him.

Andrew Sieruga was found in bushland near Bacchus Marsh on Thursday after he went missing earlier in the week.

Stan Sieruga spoke with 3AW Drive on Wednesday and held grave fears for his son, who has been battling a mental illness.

But he was far, far happier when he spoke to Tom Elliott a day later.

‘I’m going to be able to sleep tonight,’ Stan said on 3AW Drive.

‘Thank you to everyone.’
