Hundreds of people have been taking part in searches for a 14-year-old boy who has been missing in Belfast since Sunday.
Police believe Noah Donohoe may have suffered a head injury falling off his bike.
Investigators have asked local residents to check their clothes lines for missing items as the teenager was later seen cycling naked – something his family say is ‘completely out of character’ for him.
Noah left his home in south Belfast on Sunday afternoon and was last seen just before 6pm that evening on the Shore Road in north Belfast.
He was wearing a green North Face jacket, grey shorts, a tie-die blue hoodie and Nike runners.
He had a black skateboarding helmet and a khaki rucksack with him.

PSNI superintendent Muir Clark said he has no reason to believe Noah had left the local area and urged people to search buildings, sheds and cars for him.
He said he believes the teenager dropped his bike after he was last seen and continued on foot.
“Despite a significant search operation involving local specialist officers, specialist police dogs, our Air Support Unit, assistance from community search and rescue colleagues and the public, there have been no further confirmed sightings of Noah since 6:11pm on Sunday,” he said.
“I really need people to check their own property. We are looking for a young, slim, 14-year-old boy.
“Check your gardens, sheds and outbuildings for any sign of Noah. If you have a car or a caravan that has not been used for some time and is sitting in your driveway, please check to see if Noah is there.”
He said it “goes without saying” that police and Noah’s family are incredibly concerned for his safety.
