Shay was last seen at a Greater Manchester railway station

People are being urged to look out for a missing teenage boy who was last seen in Rochdale.

Greater Manchester Police has shared a fresh appeal to find Antonio Shay Patrick Latouche, known as Shay.

In a new confirmed sighting, the 13-year-old was last seen in Rochdale railway station at 3.37pm on Monday (April 21).

A previous appeal issued by West Yorkshire Police said Shay had last been seen at Mytholmroyd railway station earlier that day.

According to GMP, Shay also has links to Trafford, Stockport and Wigan, with people across the region urged to look out for the youngster.

He is described as being Black, around 4ft 11ins tall and with short, Afro-style hair.

Shay was last seen wearing a grey Nike tracksuit, grey Air Max trainers and a black Canada Goose coat.

Anyone who sees Shay or has information on his whereabouts is urged to come forward as soon as possible.

A GMP spokesperson said: "Can you help us find Shay who was last seen in Rochdale earlier this week but has links to Trafford, Stockport and Wigan?

"We want to make sure he is safe and well. Anyone with information, please call 101 quoting incident 3068 of April 22, 2025."

West Yorkshire Police says Shay hails from Hebden Bridge, in Calderdale.

A force spokesperson said on Tuesday: "Officers are growing increasingly concerned for Antonio’s welfare and are appealing for anyone with any information about his whereabouts to please get in touch."
