15-YEAR-OLD CONNOR MISSING FOR DAYS — POLICE ISSUE URGENT APPEAL AS CONCERNS GROW

POLICE ARE URGENTLY ASKING THE PUBLIC FOR HELP AFTER A TEENAGER DISAPPEARED IN WALES AND HAS NOT BEEN SEEN FOR SEVERAL DAYS

Concerns are growing for the welfare of a 15-year-old boy named Connor, who has been missing for several days after he was last seen in Llanharan, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales.

South Wales Police has launched an appeal for information as officers continue efforts to locate the teenager.

Connor was last seen at around 9am on Thursday, and police are now asking anyone who may have seen him or knows where he could be to come forward.

POLICE ARE CONCERNED FOR HIS WELFARE

Officers have said they are becoming increasingly concerned for Connor’s welfare as the search continues.

No explanation for his disappearance has been publicly established by police, and there has been no confirmation that he has come to harm.

The immediate priority is to find him and make sure he is safe.

Police are therefore asking members of the public to carefully consider whether they may have seen Connor since Thursday morning.

WHAT CONNOR LOOKS LIKE

Connor is described as approximately 5ft 5in tall and of slight build.

He has black hair.

One detail highlighted by South Wales Police is that Connor appears younger than his actual age of 15.

Police hope this description will help members of the public recognise him if they have seen him in the area or elsewhere.

A photograph of Connor has also been released as part of the appeal.

LAST SEEN IN LLANHARAN

Connor was last seen in Llanharan, a community in Rhondda Cynon Taf, at approximately 9am on Thursday.

Since then, officers have been working to establish where he may have gone.

Police have not publicly released further details about his movements after he was last seen.

That means even a seemingly small piece of information could potentially help investigators establish a clearer timeline.

PUBLIC URGED TO CHECK THEIR MEMORIES

South Wales Police is appealing to anyone who may have encountered Connor since Thursday morning.

Members of the public are being asked to think about places they visited, journeys they made and people they may have seen around the time Connor disappeared.

Police are particularly interested in any information that could help establish his whereabouts.

The appeal comes as concern continues to grow because of the amount of time that has passed since he was last seen.

 POLICE REFERENCE NUMBER RELEASED

South Wales Police has asked anyone who has seen Connor or has information about where he could be to contact the force.

Anyone providing information should quote the reference number:

2600317807

Information can also be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Police have stressed that people should get in touch if they have information that could assist, rather than assuming somebody else has already reported it.

A FAMILY WAITING FOR ANSWERS

For Connor’s loved ones, each passing day without news is likely to bring further uncertainty.

The police appeal is now asking the wider community to help bring attention to the teenager’s disappearance and potentially provide the information needed to locate him.

At this stage, there is no publicly confirmed explanation for why Connor has disappeared.

The investigation remains focused on finding him.

ANY INFORMATION COULD MATTER

Connor is only 15, and police are urging anyone who believes they may have seen him to contact them.

His height, build, dark hair and younger-looking appearance may help someone recognise him even if they did not realise at the time that they had seen a missing teenager.

With the search continuing, police are asking the public to remain alert and report anything that may help.

The most important question remains unanswered:

Where is Connor now?
