Truro Police Service is seeking the assistance of the public in locating Jacob Spring.
Jacob was last seen in the Truro area on Sept. 1, 2019 and his last known location was Halifax, police say.
Initially, Jacob had maintained contact with family, but he has not been heard from since October 2019.
"We have no reason to suspect he's met with foul play, but it's unusual and concerning that he has not had contact with [his] family," said Inspector Rob Hearn at the Truro Police Service. "All our efforts to date have not garnered information as to where he could possibly be."
Initial media releases and efforts on social media have not rendered any new information about his whereabouts. Hearn said police in Truro have also worked with their counterparts across Nova Scotia and Canada to try and locate Spring.
Jacob is considered vulnerable and the lack of contact with family is out of character.
When asked why Spring may have gone missing, Hearn said, "We'd love to know that."
Spring is described as a 16-year-old white male, six-foot-one and weighs 175 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. When last seen, he was wearing a grey hoodie, a quicksilver hat with a pink, blue and white design, and grey sneakers.
Anyone with information about where Jacob might be is asked to contact Truro Police Service at 902-895-5351 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
