Although not in our immediate area, we thought it worthwile to post this appeal from the Police.
Hackney Police are growing concerned about 12 year old Amari Glenn and are appealing for anyone who may know of his whereabouts to come forward.
Amari was last seen at 15.50 at his home address in Redwald Road, E5, on Sunday, October 17. He is believed to have only £5 on him, with no phone or travel card.
He was last seen wearing a black hooded woollen thigh length coat, a black and white horizontal striped top, dark blue jeans and black and white trainers with velcro straps.
Amari is about 5 feet tall, black and lives on Redwald Road, E5. His hair has recently been cut short.
Amari regularly uses the buses and is often seen on the route 242 bus.
Police are very concerned as it is completely out of character for Amari not to contact any friends of family.
Anyone with any information should call Hackney Police's missing persons unit on 0207 275 3404 or 07990 795873
Thanks for posting this Stephan – it’s a really important use of local websites like ours. Here’s hoping for a happy ending for Amari and his family.
Amari Glenn was found on a Night bus in Aldgate East at 5am on 21 October 2010.
The driver of the bus alerted City of London Police.
Hackney Police would like to thank the public for their on-going help and assistance in bringing this case to a happy and safe conclusion.
Kind regards
Clare Baker
Media and Communications Officer
Hackney Borough Police
Good to hear this – and thanks for letting us know the happy outcome (too often when appeals are made and you keep an eye out but never know what ultimately happens.)
