Sussex Police have initiated a search for 15-year-old Riley, who has gone missing from his residence in Haywards Heath. Riley was last seen earlier today, on January 6.

Riley is described as approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall, of slim build, with bleach-blonde hair. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a grey tracksuit paired with a black gilet, and white Nike trainers, and was carrying a white and red carrier bag.

Authorities have reason to believe that Riley may have connections to various areas, including Brighton, Eastbourne, and Hastings.

Sussex Police are urging anyone who may have information about Riley’s whereabouts or who may have seen him to come forward and assist in their efforts to locate him. If you have any information that could aid in this search, please contact the emergency services immediately by dialling 999 and quoting serial number 0760 of January 6.

The police and concerned community members are joining forces to ensure Riley’s safe return home, and any information, no matter how small it may seem, can play a crucial role in reuniting him with his family.
