We would like to request the public’s assistance to help us locate Mario Ebanks, Jr., age 16, of West Bay. His picture is attached. Mario has not been home since Saturday night, 26 March, however, he has spoken with his parents and others since that time. It is known that he has been staying around West Bay at the houses of different friends, and told his parents he would return home yesterday, but he has not.

While his parents and police do not have cause to believe that any harm has come to Mario, nonetheless it is imperative that his parents and police know his whereabouts and speak with him in person. We would like to advise anyone who may be allowing Mario to stay with them that they could be guilty of a criminal offence if they continue to do so, and should contact police right away.

Mario was last seen wearing red shorts with black stripes on the side, a white T-shirt, and black, white and red Nike sneakers. He is of slim build, light complexion, and tall, with blonde and brown curly hair.

If you have any information about Mario’s whereabouts, please call the West Bay Police Station at 949-3999 or Crime Stoppers at 800-8477(TIPS).
