Help find Clarke! The Bolton teen who's gone missing at Moses Gate train station since August 1st. Let's bring him home!

In a concerning turn of events, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) are appealing for public assistance in locating a 16-year-old boy named Clarke, who has mysteriously vanished. The teenager was last seen at approximately 9am on Thursday, August 1, at Moses Gate train station in Bolton. With fears growing for his safety, law enforcement officials are urging anyone who may have seen him or has information to come forward.

Clarke is described as a young man with short brown hair, around 5'8" in height, and last seen wearing a blue hoodie and joggers. The police have released a photograph of him in hopes that it may jog the memory of someone who has crossed his path. As the hours turn into days, the community is rallying together to support the search efforts, be it through social media shares or putting up posters around the area. Each share brings hope that one of them may lead to a breakthrough.

The search for Clarke is not just a police matter but a community effort. Locals have taken to social media, passionately sharing posts in hopes that one of their friends or connections might have valuable information. "We are all in this together!" says one concerned resident. Grocers, schools, and community centers have banded together, proving that social responsibility runs deep in Bolton. It’s the heartwarming support of the community that exemplifies how a missing person case can galvanize entire towns, uniting them towards a common cause.

As the investigation unfolds, authorities encourage anyone with leads to reach out. It doesn’t matter if you think the information is small; it could be the critical link needed to locate Clarke. In dire situations like this, every moment counts, and the authorities are working around the clock to ensure the community remains vigilant and supportive.

In more light-hearted news, did you know that Bolton is famous not only for its friendly faces but also for its rich history in the textile industry? Once a powerhouse of cotton manufacturing, it even had its own Bolton Museum, which offers a captivating glimpse into the past. Additionally, if Clarke enjoys local quizzes, he might just be interested to know that Bolton has managed to retain its charm by hosting numerous trivia nights, perfect for expanding one’s knowledge while having a laugh! Keep an eye out for our boy and celebrate the local culture that brings us all together!
