Tasmania police are trying to find a missing teenager.
Dean Andrew Causby, 17, was last seen around 7:30am (AEST) yesterday leaving his Blackmans Bay home where he lives with his aunt and uncle.
Acting Sergeant Tim Etheridge says Mr Causby has a good relationship with them and there is no specific concern for his safety at this stage.
"His family has tried to contact him via Facebook, and he hasn't responded at this stage," he said.
"I've personally tried to contact him using his mobile phone, and that rings out, and his aunt and uncle have done similar and the phone rings out as well."
Dean Causby is a student at Hobart College.
He is described as 172 centimetres tall, with a slim build, fair complexion and curly brown hair and brown eyes.
He was last seen wearing a grey hooded jumper, blue jeans and sneakers with black-framed glasses.
Anyone with information is asked to contact CrimeStoppers on 1800 333 000 or Kingston Police Station.
