Romeo was last seen by his family about 5.30pm on Saturday, February 10 at his home in Craigieburn.
The 43-year-old told his parents he was going to Greenvale to visit some associates and left the property in a gold 2004 Toyota Camry sedan.
“It’s believed he attended a property in Greenvale and spoke to a number of associates there,” Victoria Police said in a statement.
“Adrian’s family subsequently reported him missing to police on Monday, February 12, and his disappearance is considered completely out of character.”
Police are treating Romeo’s disappearance as suspicious with police appealing for anyone with information about his movements in the lead-up to his disappearance.
“Investigators are also open to the possibility that the vehicle may have been dumped or sold in Adrian’s absence,” Victoria Police said.
