CONCERNS ARE GROWING FOR THE WELL-BEING OF A TEENAGER WHO HAS NOT BEEN SEEN SINCE THURSDAY MORNING

Police have launched an urgent appeal for information after a 15-year-old boy disappeared and has remained missing for several days.

Connor was last seen in Llanharan, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales, at around 9am on Thursday, according to South Wales Police.

Officers are now increasingly concerned for the teenager’s welfare and are asking members of the public to come forward with any information that could help establish where he may be.

POLICE GROW CONCERNED FOR CONNOR

South Wales Police confirmed that officers are continuing efforts to locate Connor after he was reported missing.

The force has appealed directly to anyone who may have seen him since Thursday morning, or anyone who may have information about his whereabouts.

Police have not indicated that a particular explanation for his disappearance has been established.

At this stage, the priority remains finding Connor and making sure he is safe.

 WHAT CONNOR LOOKS LIKE

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

He has black hair.

Police have also highlighted that Connor appears younger than his actual age of 15, an identifying detail they hope will help members of the public recognise him.

The description has been circulated as officers continue their search.

 LAST SEEN IN LLANHARAN

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

The circumstances surrounding his disappearance have not been publicly detailed by police.

With several days having passed since he was last seen, officers are asking people in the area to think carefully about anything they may have witnessed or any information they may have received.

Even information that appears insignificant could potentially assist the investigation.

POLICE ASK THE PUBLIC TO COME FORWARD

South Wales Police said:

“If you have seen Connor or have any information, please contact South Wales Police quoting 2600317807.”

The appeal is aimed at anyone who may have encountered Connor since he was last seen, as well as anyone who may have information about where he could be.

People are being encouraged not to assume that somebody else has already contacted police if they have potentially relevant information.

The police appeal is now asking the wider community to remain alert and to consider whether they have seen a teenager matching Connor’s description.

At present, there is no confirmed public information explaining what happened after Connor was last seen.

The focus remains firmly on finding him and ensuring his safe return.
