Police are urgently searching for two missing teenagers in Wellington after they disappeared in separate instances.

The two missing teenage boys are aged 15 and 16.

Wellington police said they are appealing for sightings of 16-year-old Harrison, who was reported missing in Porirua.

Harrison was last seen between Monday, January 19, and Sunday, January 25 in the Cheshire St, Cannons Creek area.

“He was last seen wearing cream-coloured pants, a black hoodie, and black and blue shoes. Harrison may have a different outfit as he also has a backpack,” police said.

It is believed Harrison may be in the Kāpiti Coast and Wellington areas.

“Police and Harrison’s family are concerned for his well-being and would like to see him return home,” police said.

People are asked to use the reference number 260126/1609 if they have any information on his whereabouts, police said.

The second missing teenager, Elzahvan, aged 15, has been reported missing by his family, and there are concerns for his wellbeing.

Police said he is believed to be moving around the Wellington area, possibly staying with friends who may not be aware he has been reported missing.
