Police Plea: Check Sheds and Overgrown Spots
Detective Chief Inspector Seb Florent said: “More than two weeks on, we’re increasingly worried about Sydney’s welfare. Without money or a travel card, he’s unlikely to have gone far. We’re asking locals to check sheds, outbuildings, and any hidden corners of the park.”
“Specialist officers have scoured the park and reviewed CCTV footage, but we need the public’s help. Anyone who’s been in Lloyds Park in the past two weeks or has seen Sydney should come forward.”
