A major police operation is underway across south London as authorities desperately search for a missing 15-year-old boy captured on CCTV in a visibly distressed state moments before vanishing.
The vulnerable teenager was last seen on camera footage appearing to wipe tears from his eyes, adding to growing concerns about his welfare and mental state. Metropolitan Police have launched an urgent appeal for information regarding his whereabouts.
Disturbing Last Sighting
According to investigators, the CCTV footage shows the young boy in clear emotional distress shortly before his disappearance. The heartbreaking images have intensified the search efforts as family and authorities fear for his safety.
Police have described the teenager as "vulnerable" and are treating his disappearance with the utmost seriousness. Multiple search teams have been deployed across the area where he was last seen.
Family's Desperate Plea
The boy's family are said to be "extremely worried" and have joined police in appealing for anyone with information to come forward. Local residents have been asked to check their gardens, sheds, and any outbuildings where the teenager might have sought shelter.
Community groups have mobilized to assist in the search, with volunteers coordinating efforts across neighbourhoods in the hope of finding the missing youth safe and well.
Police Investigation Intensifies
Detectives are reviewing additional CCTV footage from surrounding areas and conducting door-to-door enquiries. Officers are particularly concerned given the emotional state the boy was in when last seen and his young age.
The Metropolitan Police have urged anyone who may have seen the teenager or has any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to contact them immediately.
