A seven-year-old Hamilton boy is missing after going to visit his friends on Wednesday afternoon.
Tyrese left his home on Anderson Road in Deanwell at 4pm. Police issued an ‘amber alert’ at 1.30am on Thursday.
They said Tyrese regularly walked to his friends’ houses on his own, but did not return home as usual on Wednesday, and wasn’t at the addresses of known friends. He had no nearby family members and there were no local parks in the immediate area.
Tyrese was expected to attend school tomorrow, making his absence “unusual”, police said, noting he had a medical condition that did not require medication.
They described him as 1.3 metres tall, Māori, of medium build, with brown eyes and medium-length black hair.
He was last seen wearing bright orange shorts, a black T-shirt featuring a blue dragon design on the front, and turquoise Croc shoes.
Police urged anyone who had seen Tyrese or had information about his whereabouts to contact them immediately on 105, quoting event number: P064746386.
