The Nassau County Police Department’s Missing Persons Squad reported that a 13-year-old boy who was last seen in Great Neck was missing as of Tuesday morning.
Detectives said Areston Huerta-Lopez was last seen at his father’s workplace located at 14 South St. in Great Neck. According to officials, the 13-year-old suffers from a cognitive disorder.
Police said Huerta-Lopez’s disappearance was reported at 12:26 p.m. on Tuesday, roughly an hour after he allegedly went missing.
Officials described Huerta-Lopez as a Hispanic male, 5 feet 8 inches tall, 125 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Officials said he was wearing a long-sleeve T-shirt with one-inch black and dark red stripes, dark sweatpants, and olive green Adidas sneakers.
