Police searching for a teenager missing since the start of the week have released CCTV images taken moments before he vanished. Mihran Khachatryan, 17, was last seen at about 7pm on Monday, April 21, when he left his home in Ashmead Drive, Hardwick in Cambridgeshire, to take a walk.
He has not been seen since with a search launched for the teenager, who was last seen wearing a grey coat, blue cargo trousers and dark grey shoes. Now, five days on from when he was last seen, police have shared CCTV taken from a neighbour’s home in the hope of finding out what happened.
Detective Inspector Lindsay Harbour said: “We’re growing increasingly concerned for Mihran’s welfare and we’re continuing to appeal for information on his whereabouts.
“The community has been incredibly helpful in assisting us and we’ve had an unconfirmed sighting of Mihran on the A1303 Madingley Road, close to the M11 junction, at about 11.20pm on Tuesday (22 April).
“I’d like to hear from anyone who has dashcam footage from the evening or saw anything along the stretch of road.”
Mihran is described as 5’6”, slim, with dark hair in a ponytail. He was last seen wearing a grey coat, blue cargo trousers and dark grey shoes.”
Mihran is known for taking walks around the Dry Drayton, Hardwick, Cambourne and Caldecote areas.
A spokesman for Cambridgeshire Police said: “Police hunting for a missing teenager have released CCTV images of him captured just minutes after he left his family home.
“Mihran Khachatryan, 17, was last seen at about 7pm on Monday (21 April) when he left his home in Ashmead Drive, Hardwick, to go on a walk. The CCTV from a nearby home was taken at about 7.10pm.
“Officers would like to hear from walkers or dog walkers who may have seen Mihran.”
Anyone with information, CCTV or dashcam footage should report it through the force website using reference 538 of 21 April. Anyone without internet access should call 101.
Around 17,000 people go missing in the UK every year. Some are publicly reported, while others can go unnoticed by the public. Last month, The Mirror launched the Missed campaign in partnership with UK charity, Missing People, which aimed to raise awareness of every publicly-listed missing person in the UK through a live, interactive map.
There are still some questions people may not be aware of when it comes to the process and what happens when a person goes missing. For answers to help understand this complex period click here.
