Noah Donohoe search: Irish League clubs join effort to find missing teenager

A number of Irish League clubs have joined the effort to find missing teenager Noah Donohoe.

The 14-year-old schoolboy from South Belfast has been missing since Sunday evening, June 21, at around 5.30pm.

Hundreds of volunteers have been helping in the search for Noah.

Belfast football clubs Crusaders, Cliftonville and Glentoran also shared appeals on Wednesday as the searches continued.

They urged anyone with information to come forward to police.

North Belfast club Cliftonville tweeted:

Crusaders added:

Meanwhile, Glentoran shared the following appeal:

In a statement posted on Tuesday night, the PSNI said: “Noah left his home on his black Apollo mountain bike wearing a black skateboarding helmet, khaki green North Face jacket, grey sweat shorts with an emblem on one leg, a tie-die blue hoody, Nike trainers with a bright yellow ‘tick’ and carrying a khaki rucksack.

“Noah was seen on Ormeau Avenue at 5.45pm on Sunday evening. He is then sighted again on Royal Avenue heading towards York Street a short time after.

 

“Noah was then seen on  North Queen Street  heading towards the Limestone Road at 5:57pm. An eyewitness believes they saw a young male matching Noah’s description fall off his bicycle on Sunday evening, possibly sustaining a head injury, in the vicinity of North Queen Street/York Street, but we do not know the specific time.

“We believe Noah got back on his bicycle, cycling into Northwood Road where he then abandons all his clothing, as he is seen a short time later cycling while naked. We believe Noah then dropped his bicycle and left the area on foot.

“There have been no further confirmed sightings of Noah since 6.08pm on Sunday. Police officers supported by air support unit, police dogs and our tactical support group have been searching the area alongside community rescue service colleagues and local volunteers.

“Noah’s family and police are very concerned for Noah as this is completely out of character. We need your help to find him. If you have any information please contact police immediately on 101 quoting reference number 1619 of 21/06/20.”
