An army helicopter and the police K-9 Unit are involved in the search.

An AFM helicopter could be seen hovering over Golden Bay from early on Friday as the officers and their dogs searched the surroundings.

The police said anyone having any information should contact the police headquarters or any police station or phone 21 224001/119, even anonymously.

An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the Ghajn Tuffieha search was for a teenager.
