Teen missing ‘for a month’

Fears over a teenager missing for a month have prompted a Geelong Police plea for public help to find him.

Seventeen-year-old Joshua Griffiths was last seen on 12 March, police posted on social media this week.

“Police and family members hold concerns for Joshua’s welfare due to his age,” the post said.

“An image has been released in the hope someone recognises him and can provide information on his whereabouts.”

Police described the missing teen as approximately 175cm tall, of medium build with short blonde hair.

“He was last seen wearing a blue T-shirt, a grey hoodie, cargo pants and trainers,” police said.

“It is believed that he may be in the Geelong and Keilor Park areas.”

Police urged anyone who saw Joshua or who had “information on his current whereabouts” to phone the Geelong station on 5225 3100.
