Community Alert: Police Seek Help to Find Missing Malabar Teen

Authorities are urgently seeking public assistance to locate 14-year-old Kyne Toka, who disappeared from Sydney’s eastern suburbs last week. The teenager was last seen on Bilga Crescent, Malabar, on Friday, 4 July 2025, with police expressing serious concerns for his welfare due to his young age. Officers from the Eastern Beaches Police Area Command (PAC) are leading the search and have appealed for any information that could help bring Kyne home safely.

Kyne is described as Caucasian, approximately 170–175 cm tall, with a thin build, brown hair, and black eyes. Investigators have confirmed he frequents both the Malabar and Chester Hill areas, though his current whereabouts remain unknown. The disappearance has sparked concern among local residents, with community groups and social media platforms amplifying the police appeal to broaden the search effort.

A spokesperson for New South Wales (NSW) Police emphasized the importance of community vigilance, urging anyone with information no matter how minor to come forward. “Time is critical in these cases, and public assistance can make a significant difference,” the spokesperson said. Authorities are reviewing CCTV footage and conducting targeted patrols in areas Kyne is known to visit, while family and friends continue to hold hope for his safe return.

Anyone with information about Kyne’s location is urged to contact Eastern Beaches PAC or Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000. The case underscores the vital role of community cooperation in safeguarding vulnerable youth, as authorities work diligently to resolve this distressing situation. Residents are encouraged to remain alert and report any potential sightings immediately.
