The search for a missing 16-year-old boy from North Miami Beach has come to an end after he was found safe. Gab Beniaminov-Biton had been missing since Sunday, prompting local authorities to launch an urgent search effort. According to WSVN, the North Miami Beach Police Department confirmed early Monday that he "is physically in good health and has been reunited with his mother."
Details about the teenager's time away from home, and the circumstances of his disappearance, were initially scarce —. The North Miami Beach Police were focused on locating him after he was last seen wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt, , blue shorts, and a blue yarmulke near the 18100 block of Northeast Ninth Court. The police did not divulge where or how Beniaminov-Biton was found, nor did they comment on the state he was in at the time of his recovery.
A Missing Child Alert that had been issued for Beniaminov-Biton has since been called off. Local authorities and the community had rallied together in the quest to find the missing teen after his sudden disappearance had raised concerns.
Although police have provided few details surrounding the events of his disappearance, the cancellation of the alert brought a sense of relief to the community worried about the teen's safety. In a statement retrieved from Local10, authorities declared that the Missing Child Alert was no longer active, indicating that Beniaminov-Biton had been located and was no longer in danger. It is a standard procedure for law enforcement to withhold certain details in situations involving minors to protect their privacy and well-being.
