Whitehorse RCMP are looking for a 12-year-old boy missing since Monday.

Brady Ford lives downtown in a group home. He left the residence Monday and has not returned.

The RCMP say he has a history of wandering off but never for so long. They also say the boy hangs around in the downtown area.

He's of slight build, and under five feet tall. He was wearing a black and grey winter coat, black snowpants and carrying a black backpack.

Anyone who knows of his whereabouts is asked to call the Whitehorse RCMP detachment at 667-5555.
