Detective Superintendent Louise Glynn said: “We are grateful for the community’s support so far to help us find Michael. Since we are only 12, we are naturally concerned about his well-being because he has been away from home for so long. He is also without his mobile phone.
“Although friends and members of the public say they have seen him in various places in Luton on the last day or so, this has not been confirmed and we will follow Michael to see if he is safe and well. As such, he remains at high risk and we are conducting a full and thorough investigation into his whereabouts.
“This length of disappearance is not typical for Michael and I would like to assure him if he sees this call that there are no problems and he should contact the police or his family as soon as possible.
