THREE SCHOOLBOYS, AGED JUST 12 AND 13, MISSING AFTER BEING SEEN AT MANCHESTER TRAM STOP

Riley, Noah and Kian were last seen on Saturday evening. Police are increasingly concerned for their welfare and are appealing to the public for help finding the three boys.

An urgent search has been launched in Greater Manchester, England, after three schoolboys aged 12 and 13 were reported missing.

Riley, Noah and Kian were last seen at Stretford Metrolink tram stop at approximately 6:50 p.m. on Saturday, October 17, according to reports published on October 19.

Police have expressed growing concern for the boys’ safety. At the time of the appeal, officers had not established whether the three children were still together or had gone their separate ways.

 Details that could help find them

Greater Manchester Police have released descriptions of the missing boys and are asking anyone who may have seen them to come forward.

• Riley, 13: Approximately 4ft 9in tall, slim, with freckles and curly blonde hair. He was last seen wearing a black Adidas tracksuit and a green North Face coat.
• Noah, 12: Last seen wearing a black tracksuit, a black T-shirt and sweatshirt, and a black jacket with Reebok branding on the back.
• Kian, 12: Approximately 5ft 5in tall, slim, with blonde hair. He was last seen wearing a purple T-shirt, a black tracksuit and black trainers.

Even a seemingly small detail could help investigators establish where the boys went after they were last spotted.

 Families face an anxious wait

When children go missing, uncertainty can be agonising for the people who love them. As the search continues, police are working to establish the boys’ whereabouts and make sure they are safe.

There is no confirmed public information establishing what happened after the last reported sighting, and it is important not to speculate about the circumstances.

If you believe you have information about an immediate danger, call 999.
