The 12-year-old is described as white, around 5’ tall, with mousy blonde hair. Superintendent Michael Evans said: “It’s now been over five days since Thomas disappeared and we are really concerned about his welfare – his family are also distraught.
“While this sighting is positive, he is only 12 years old, and we are keen to get him home as soon as possible. Therefore, I would urge anyone who thinks that they may have seen Thomas since he went missing to get in touch.
“I would particularly like to appeal to residents in the Seaforth and Bootle areas – if you think you have seen him or know where he is please call us. If you don’t want to speak to us directly, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. I would also appeal directly to Thomas to contact us to let us know that you are safe and well.”
Anyone with any information or video footage in relation to the whereabouts of Thomas is asked to contact Cheshire Police at here or call 101, quoting IML 1304568.
