Fears are growing for the safety of a missing Richmond boy, who has not been seen in three days.
Richmond Mounties asked the public earlier this week to look out for William Maibaum, 13, who was last seen on Monday, May 12 near his home in the 11,000 block of Seaport Avenue in the Shellmont neighbourhood.
Police say William has gone missing before, but the longest he's been away from home was three days.
And with Thursday being the third day, concern for the teenager's safety is understandably increasing, according to Richmond RCMP's Const. Adriana Peralta.
Peralta said William has been known to frequent Surrey and spend time at Richmond Centre. She urged anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact their local police, or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
William is Caucasian, about 5 ft. 4 in. tall, weighs about 105 lbs, and has brown hair and blue eyes.
He was last seen wearing blue jeans, a Toronto Blue Jays t-shirt, a grey hoodie and blue Nike runners.
He also as a diamond stud earring in right ear and was wearing a red baseball cap with letter 'P' on the front.
