CHILLIWACK — Police in Chilliwack are asking for the public’s help in finding a 13-year-old boy who has gone missing for the third time in 2026.

RCMP say Zayn Johnston was last seen boarding a bus in Chilliwack at roughly 9 a.m. on August 6.

He is described as 5’6” and 150 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

Johnston was also last seen wearing black pants and a black hoodie.

While the boy is from Chilliwack, investigators believe he may currently be in the Langley area, where he is known to frequent.
