SINGAPORE - Two 11-year-old boys, believed to be classmates, have been reported missing for more than a day.
The police sent out an appeal for information on Javier Teo Ren Jie and Axel Lim Jun Wei on Friday (Jan 19).
Javier was last seen at Block 273D, Compassvale Link, at about 7.10am on Thursday, while Axel was last seen at a shopping mall in Rivervale Drive at about 7.30pm the same day, the police said.
The Straits Times understands that the boys planned on running away.
A Facebook post that went viral but has since been made unavailable said that Javier went missing since 3pm on Thursday and was last seen at Park Green condominium with his classmate Axel.
The post went viral, with more than 5,000 shares in a day and several Facebook pages sharing the post in a bid to help locate the boys, before being taken down.
When ST attempted to contact Javier's father, he said he was busy driving around looking for the boys and declined comment.
Anyone with information is requested to call the police hotline on 1800-255-0000 or submit information online at www.police.gov.sg/iwitness. All information will be treated as strictly confidential, said the police.
