Chief Inspector Danny Thompson, of Dorset Police, said: “We are now approaching two weeks since Alex was last seen, and we are continuing to do everything we can in an effort to locate them. I would ask Alex again, if you see this appeal to please let us or your family know that you are all right. We are all very worried for you and want to make sure you are safe and well.
“To mark two weeks since the last sighting, there will be an increased visible policing presence at key locations in the Dorchester and Charminster areas on Saturday 25 February 2023.

“We are also issuing images of two distinctive drinks bottles that Alex is believed to have purchased shortly before they went missing. I would urge anyone who has come across discarded bottles of this kind in the Dorchester area to please contact us as they may help give an indication of Alex’s last known movements.
