‘I have been asking the police to investigate the people who he knows in Bangor and go to their houses to check but the response seems to me to be a bit slow.

‘I think they should make it a priority to investigate all his friends in Bangor.’

Now an urgent plea has been shared by police who are investigating the disappearance of the teenager whose full name is Frantisek Morris.

Officers are asking the public to check CCTV and dashcam footage in the Bangor and Caerhun areas of North Wales for any signs of the 18-year-old.

Police say Frankie, who is from Llandegfan, Anglesey, was walking north in the direction of Caerhun, wearing a grey T-shirt and blue shorts – the same clothes he wore to the party the evening before – and pushing a bike.
