Police are asking for the public to help them find a teenage boy who was last seen in Dapto two weeks ago.

Jacob Williams, aged 15, was last seen on Mulda Street on Wednesday 1 October 2025.

When he could not be found officers attached to Wollongong Police District were notified and began inquiries into his whereabouts.

A NSW Police spokesperson said they hold concerns for Jacob’s welfare given his age.

Jacob is described as being of Caucasian appearance, about 175cm tall, of medium build, with short red hair.

He is known to frequent the Illawarra and Western Sydney areas, as well as Canberra.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact Wollongong Police District or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online.
