Searches resumed on Saturday for missing Belfast teenager Noah Donohoe, who has not been seen since last Sunday evening. The 14-year-old was last spotted in areas close to the Shore Road in north Belfast.
Police believe he may have fallen from his bicycle and sustained an injury, leading him to remove his clothing. The investigation remains a missing person enquiry, with officers emphasising that no crime is necessarily suspected.
A khaki rucksack containing a Lenovo laptop and a copy of the book 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson has been recovered following information from a member of the public. Specialist teams are now examining the items.
Superintendent Muir Clark said it is still unclear why Noah, who is from south Belfast, was in that part of the city. The main search area continues to be the Shore Road, bounded by Premier Drive and Skegoneill Avenue. Residents have been encouraged to search their properties, gardens, and sheds.
Members of the public with information can use the PSNI's major incident public portal, a 24-hour online reporting platform. Separately, a 26-year-old man has been charged with improper use of a public electronic communications network in relation to social media posts about the case. He is due to appear at Belfast Magistrates' Court next month.
