VANCOUVER – Police in New Westminster tweeted Thursday night that a missing teenager who they had described as "high risk" had been found.
The 15-year-old was located and reunited with his family, police said.
The teenager went missing on Tuesday at around 2:30 p.m., prompting multiple warnings from police, who were concerned about his safety.
"(He) is not from the area, and we're concerned that he may be lost," said Staff Sgt. Andrew Perry in a news release. "Friends and family are concerned for his safety."
Police initially released information about him on Wednesday. On Thursday, they renewed their call for information and said he was still missing.
He was visiting New Westminster with family when he went missing and even though police have called him "high risk," it's only because of his age.
"There's no risk to the public. This is a 15-year-old boy who's gone missing, he's not from the area so we're concerned that (he) may not know where he is," said Stuart Jette with New Westminster police.
"Also he's not really dressed for the weather so we're concerned especially with the cold snap we're experiencing."
