Police Urgently Seek Help to Find Missing Teenager Corey

Authorities are increasingly concerned for the welfare of 16-year-old Corey, who was last seen at Tonypandy train station on the morning of September 5. South Wales Police are appealing to the public for assistance in locating the teenager, who hails from Glynneath.

Details of the Disappearance

Corey was observed at the train station between 10:30 and 11:30 on Friday morning. In an effort to jog the memories of potential witnesses, police have released images and a description of his clothing at the time of his disappearance. He is described as 5 feet 1 inch tall, with short, dark brown hair.

At the time he was last seen, Corey was wearing a grey hoodie, dark grey joggers with a lighter grey stripe, and black and white Nike shoes. The police have encouraged anyone who may have seen Corey or who possesses any information that could lead to his whereabouts to come forward.

A statement from South Wales Police emphasized the importance of community involvement: “Help us find Corey, 16, missing from Glynneath, Neath Port Talbot.” They provided a reference number, 2500286078, for anyone wishing to report information directly to them.

Public Safety and Missing Person Protocols

In light of the situation, South Wales Police noted that they receive, on average, more than 8,000 missing persons reports annually. The police define a missing person as someone whose location cannot be confirmed, and they will continue to be considered missing until they are found and their wellbeing is established.

“Often the missing person themselves does not consider themselves ‘missing’. However, until they are sighted safe and well by police as a result of the concerns raised for them, they will be classed as a missing person.”

The police department has requested that community members refrain from conducting their own searches. They explained that organized searches are managed by trained professionals who employ a methodical approach based on intelligence and experience. This ensures the safety and efficiency of the search efforts.

Anyone with information regarding Corey’s whereabouts is urged to contact South Wales Police online, call 101, or reach out to Crimestoppers anonymously at 0800 555111. The community’s support is vital in locating Corey and ensuring his safe return.
