Rescuers have stepped up efforts to find a teenager who has now been missing for 10 days.

Frantisek Morris, also known as Frankie, was last seen on CCTV on Sunday, May 2, as he pushed his bike past The Vaynol Arms pub at around 1.20pm, walking in the direction of Caerhun, Conwy.

His mum, Alice, is desperately pleading for members of the public to help and fears ‘something bad’ could have happened to him.

Frankie, 18, had been at a party in the Waunfawr area the previous day, and was last seen wearing a grey T-shirt and blue shorts.

His bicycle was later discovered with a puncture not far from where he was last seen.

Posting on the Help Find Frankie Morris Facebook page, Alive said: ‘Thank you all so much for all your effort to find my son Frankie, you don’t even know how much I appreciate it!

‘I know Frankie so well and I also know his lifestyle. I do think that he visited one of his friends in Bangor and something bad probably happened to him there.

‘I have been asking the police to investigate the people who he knows in Bangor and go to their houses to check but the response seems to me to be a bit slow.

‘I think they should make it a priority to investigate all his friends in Bangor.’

Concerns have also been raised on the group that a CCTV image of Frankie shows what could be injuries on his elbow and face.

He also appeared to be without a jacket he was wearing the previous day, the group said.

Searches have been continuing today, with police and search and rescue teams involved in the hunt.

On Monday, North Wales Police urged anyone with information, CCTV or dashcam footage regarding his disappearance to get in touch.

Chief Inspector Llinos Davies said: ‘I would like to appeal directly to Frankie and want him to know that our only concern is to know that he is safe and well.

‘I urge Frankie or anyone who knows of his whereabouts to make contact with us.

‘We will need to check on Frankie’s welfare, but his confidentiality and wishes will be respected.

He added: ‘We continue to be concerned about Frankie, and are still utilising a considerable amount of both police and partner agency resources, both of which have been dedicated to finding Frankie for nearly a week.

‘We are working closely with Frankie’s family to explore every possible line of enquiry at this difficult time.

‘If you have any information regarding Frankie’s whereabouts, please get in touch.’
