ACT Policing is seeking the public’s assistance to help locate a missing 12-year-old boy

The boy, Kane Randle, was reported missing earlier today (April 23) by his family. He has not been seen by his family since 10.30am on Sunday (April 20).

Police believe he may be staying with friends.

Kane is described as 152cm tall, with a solid build, light brown hair and brown eyes.

Police have concerns for his welfare due to his age and the length of time he has been missing.

Anyone who has seen Kane or knows his whereabouts is asked to call police on 131-444.

I saw this in Canberra times…..north side? South side? A suburb or area would help, when people hear about something happening in their suburb they are far more likely to pay attention.

Hope the kid is safe and well, wherever he is.

I would say this was a deliberate omission – this release was never for the general public to keep an eye out for this boy – it was all about making him and his friends realise that he’d been reported as missing and that the police were looking for him.

Seeing as he’s now reported to the police safe and well, it seems to have been the right approach too. They must have had a very strong suspicion that he was ok, with people he knew. Who knows – maybe he told the parents of whoever he was with that his parents knew where he was, and everything was fine. I imagine that seeing a story like this on the news would soon shock you into action!

UPDATE: Kane attended Woden Police Station earlier today (Thursday, April 24), safe and well.
