Search continues for missing 12-year-old boyMaeve BannisterAAPMon, 11 March 2024 5:24AM
Dozens of emergency service crews have spent the night searching for a young boy who went missing in western Sydney.
Hussein Al Mansoory, 12, was last seen running from Auburn Memorial Park towards the intersection of Station Road and Rawson Street, Auburn, about 10.30am on Saturday.
There are serious concerns for Hussein’s welfare as he lives with down syndrome and autism and is non-verbal.
State Emergency Service crews and police, including PolAir and the riot squad, have been searching for him and are particularly focusing on construction sites.
They believe Hussein could have taken shelter in a construction site in the area to escape the hot weather Sydney faced over the weekend.
