Cambridge Police (Cambridge Tribune) August 7, 2026 — Police are urgently searching for a boy named Jack after he was reported missing in Cambridge, New Zealand, and are asking the public to provide any information that could help locate him.
According to a report by Stuff, Jack was last seen on Tirau Road at approximately 4pm on Friday. He was wearing a yellow jersey at the time, a detail police have highlighted as part of their appeal for information.
Police have not released additional identifying information in the available report. The published appeal does not state Jack’s age, height, hairstyle or other clothing, and it does not explain the circumstances that led to him being reported missing.
The limited information means that people who were travelling through or near Tirau Road at around the reported time may have information that could assist the investigation. Police are asking members of the public to consider whether they saw Jack or noticed anything unusual in the area.
How can the public help police find Jack?
Police have asked anyone who has seen Jack, or anyone with information that could help locate him, to contact New Zealand Police on 105.
Callers have been asked to quote the police reference number P067239302. Providing the reference number should help police connect information from the public with the existing missing-person report.
The appeal applies to people who may have seen Jack on Tirau Road, as well as those who may have information about where he went afterwards. Police have not indicated in the available report whether they are asking residents to check specific locations, review security-camera footage or provide dashcam recordings.
Anyone who believes they may have relevant information should contact police directly rather than relying on social-media posts or informal online discussions. This allows officers to assess the information and determine whether it may assist the search.
When was Jack last seen in Cambridge?
Jack was last seen at about 4pm on Friday, according to the Stuff report. The location given by police was Tirau Road in Cambridge.
The report does not provide a more precise time, such as whether Jack was seen exactly at 4pm or within a wider period around that time. It also does not identify the person who last saw him or state whether he was alone.
The yellow jersey is currently the main clothing detail released publicly. People who believe they saw a boy wearing a yellow jersey in or around Tirau Road should contact police and provide the time and location of the sighting, together with any other details they remember.
Information that appears minor may still be useful when combined with other accounts. For example, a witness may remember a direction of travel, a nearby vehicle, a meeting point or the time a person entered or left an area. Members of the public should report such details accurately and avoid adding assumptions.
What details have police released about Jack?
The available report identifies the missing boy as Jack and states that he was last seen on Tirau Road wearing a yellow jersey. Police have also provided the public contact number 105 and reference number P067239302.
No age or description beyond the yellow jersey appears in the available information. The report also does not state whether Jack has any medical conditions, whether police consider him particularly vulnerable or whether officers believe he may be at immediate risk.
Because those details have not been released, members of the public should not attempt to identify another person based solely on speculation. Any possible sighting should be passed to police, who can assess whether it relates to the missing-person investigation.
Stuff’s report also does not confirm whether Jack has been found or whether the search has expanded beyond Tirau Road. The latest information available for this report is the police appeal asking the public for assistance.
What should people do if they think they have seen Jack?
Anyone who believes they have seen Jack or has information about his whereabouts should contact police on 105 and quote P067239302.
A caller should explain where and when they saw the person, what the person was wearing and whether they observed any direction of travel or other relevant circumstances. Information should be given as clearly as possible, without attempting to confront or follow anyone.
People should also avoid publishing unverified claims about Jack or possible sightings online. Incorrect information can cause confusion for the family, members of the public and police officers working to establish what happened.
The police appeal is focused on gathering information that may help locate Jack. The public can assist by reporting possible sightings promptly and preserving any relevant details, including the exact time and location of what they observed.
What is the background to this missing-person appeal?
The appeal follows a report that Jack was last seen on Tirau Road in Cambridge at about 4pm on Friday. Stuff reported that police were urgently seeking public assistance and had asked people with information to call 105 using reference number P067239302.
The available report contains only the details released in the initial public appeal. It does not provide information about the investigation’s wider progress, the search resources being used, Jack’s age or the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
Those details may be updated by police or the reporting outlet if further information becomes available. Until then, the confirmed public information is limited to Jack’s name, the Tirau Road sighting, the yellow jersey and the police contact instructions.
How could the search affect Cambridge residents?
For Cambridge residents, the appeal is likely to increase attention around Tirau Road and nearby areas as people review what they may have seen on Friday afternoon. Residents or motorists who were in the area at the relevant time may be asked to provide information, including possible CCTV or dashcam evidence if police issue a further request.
The development may also lead to increased police activity in the area, although the available report does not specify the scale or location of any search operation. Residents should follow official police instructions and avoid interfering with any investigation activity.
The most useful contribution from the public is timely, accurate information. Anyone with a possible sighting should contact police on 105, quote P067239302 and allow officers to determine whether the information is relevant.
