Police are appealing for public assistance to help locate missing teenager Liam Murray.

The 17 year old was last seen at his Launching Place home on 8 January.

Police have concerns for Liam’s welfare due to the length of time he has been missing and his lack of contact with family and friends.

An image of Liam has been released in the hope someone recognises him and can provide details on his whereabouts.

Liam is known to frequent the Morwell, Moe or Traralgon areas.

Anyone who sees Liam is urged to contact Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit on 9739 2401.
