RCMP are asking for the public's help in locating a teen who they say was last seen in Grande Prairie after walking away from a group home in High Prairie overnight.
Officers are looking for 16-year-old Gage Joachim. He is described as 5'6", 190 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, and Inuit facial features.
Officers believe Joachim was hitchhiking to Grande Cache to see his family. He has lived in Hight Prairie, Peace River and Grande Cache so police are asking the public to pay close attention to hitchhikers in these areas.
Police are concerned for Joachim's safety, as he was not dressed appropriately for the weather and he suffers from Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).
He was last seen wearing a black track jacket with navy stripes and white piping, black skinny jeans and Nike shoes with purple laces.
People are asked to call their local police detachment if they see anyone who may match Joachim's description.
