Original story: Mounties are scouring Metchosin for a 14-year-old boy with autism who went missing Wednesday morning.
Chad Sullivan, 14, was last seen at around 10 a.m. in the 1100-block of Kangaroo Road, according to West Shore RCMP.
Family are concerned for his health and well-being because he’s severely autistic and non-verbal, and likely won’t answer if called.

A search and rescue team and police dog unit have been deployed to assist in the search.
