BOY, 15, MISSING FOR THREE DAYS — POLICE ISSUE URGENT APPEAL AS CONCERNS GROW

Connor was last seen in Llanharan, Wales, on Thursday morning, October 1. As the search continued, South Wales Police appealed to the public for help, warning that the teenager may look younger than his actual age.

Police in South Wales launched an urgent appeal to find a missing 15-year-old boy after he disappeared from a community in Rhondda Cynon Taf.

Connor was last seen in Llanharan at approximately 9 a.m. on Thursday, October 1, 2026. By October 4, officers had been searching for three days and said they were increasingly concerned for his welfare.

Authorities asked anyone who might have seen Connor or had information about his whereabouts to contact police, hoping that a sighting or a seemingly small detail could help establish where he had gone.

Police share description of missing teenager

South Wales Police released a physical description to help members of the public recognise Connor.

He is described as:

• Age: 15
• Height: Approximately 5 feet 5 inches
• Build: Slight
• Hair: Black

Police also highlighted that Connor appears younger than his 15 years of age. Officers hoped this detail would help people identify him, particularly anyone who might have seen him without realising he was a missing teenager.

The appeal urged members of the public to think carefully about their movements and any possible sightings around Llanharan and the surrounding area.

Growing concern as the search continues

When a young person goes missing, information from the public can be important in helping police piece together their movements.

At the time of the appeal, police had not publicly established why Connor had disappeared or where he might have gone after he was last seen.

Officers were asking people not to dismiss information simply because it seemed insignificant. A brief sighting, a journey through the area or something noticed on Thursday morning could potentially assist the investigation.

The priority remained locating Connor and ensuring his safety.

How to contact police

South Wales Police asked anyone who had seen Connor or had information about his whereabouts to contact the force, quoting reference number 2600317807.

People could also provide information anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

A community asked to help

For Connor’s family and loved ones, not knowing where he is can bring enormous uncertainty. Police appealed to the wider community to share the official notice and report any information that could help bring the search to a conclusion.

The appeal was a reminder that missing-person investigations can depend on ordinary people noticing something they might otherwise overlook.

Connor was 15, and police were increasingly concerned about his welfare. Anyone with relevant information was urged to come forward and help officers establish where he was.
