ORIGINAL STORY: Surrey RCMP is requesting the public’s help in locating a missing 14-year-old boy.
According to police, Arnav Naphar was last seen at approximately 5:45 pm on May 4. The teen was at Hyland Creek Park in Newton with his family, when he went off alone on his bike to loop around the park and did not come back.
Police note it was normal for Naphar to ride his bike around the park, but it’s “highly unusual” for him not to return home.

“It’s out of character for this person to be out of touch with his family for this long,” said Surrey RCMP.
