Police call for help with 15 year old still missing

The disappearance of a 15-year-old boy in Waurn Ponds earlier this month has prompted more police calls for public assistance to find him.

Police are continuing their search for missing Baddaginnie teenager Lachlan Mitchell, last seen at Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre on 5 November.

Family members and police have concerns for Lachlan’s welfare due to his age.

He was last seen wearing black tracksuit pants, black runners and a white windcheater, police said.

Investigators previously released an image of Lachlan in hope that someone might have information on his current whereabouts.

They urged anyone who saw Lachlan or had information on his whereabouts to phone Benalla Police Station on (03) 5760 0200.
