MONTREAL -- Montreal police are seeking the public's help in finding a missing 14-year-old who has been missing since Oct. 31.

Ilyasse El-Alaoui Benchad was last seen in Rivière-des-Prairies. Police say he could be spotted in Montreal North or St-Leonard, and is known to hang out in fast food restaurants.

Investigators have reason to fear for his health and safety.

He could be with his brother Soulymane El-Alaoui Benchad.
