RICHMOND (NEWS1130) – A 14-year-old Richmond teenager has gone missing.

RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Derkatch says Alex Selezniov went to a gathering at the Thompson Community Centre Friday but was last seen with friends last night at 6:30 p.m.

She says his disappearance is unusual.

“We received a report from family members that he had attended this social function at the community centre, and they didn’t know exactly why he didn’t return home. It causes some concern as well as to his friends and family members because he’s never done this before. It’s just out of character. We’re asking that people keep an eye out for him.”

When asked if he was involved with drugs or the wrong crowd she says “Not that we know of or that we’ve been told. We are hoping that he turns up.”

Selezniov is described as a Caucasian male, six feet tall, 150 pounds, slim/athletic build with short blonde hair worn in a faux hawk. Selezniov was last seen wearing black shorts, a yellow tank top and a red baseball cap.
