The family of a missing Christchurch teenager is appealing for information from the public on his whereabouts.

Marley, 17, went missing on Friday afternoon.

The vehicle he was driving, a white Mazda Demio, was found in the city’s beachside suburb of Sumner but Marley was last seen in Opawa about 3pm.

Police said in a release that he “could be anywhere in the city”.

Marley’s mother told the Herald on Saturday night there is footage of her son driving into Sumner but they’re desperate for more information on his movements after that.

It’s believed the footage was from council CCTV.

She’s asking Sumner residents to check footage on their security cameras.

Marley is thought to have been wearing black track pants and a hoodie that could either be dark-coloured or light grey.

Police ask anyone who has seen Marley to call 111, quoting the reference number 250927/3331.

Information after the fact can be provided via 105, using the same reference number.
