A teenage boy and girl who vanished from their homes just one day apart may have ran away together, according to police.
Bailey Drewry, 16, was last seen at a bus stop in Port Fairy, in south-western Victoria on March 5 but never made it to school.
Breeana Knowles, also 16, who was last seen on March 6 in Warrnambool, just a 25 minute drive to the west.
Police have launched an appeal to find Bailey and are investigating if his disappearance is related to Breeana. Police have been able to link the fact that they are known to each other and we are following up if they are missing together, Sergeant Tom Morris said.
Bailey Drewry, 16, caught a bus from Port Fairy early on March 5.
When he didn t return home that afternoon, his family contacted police.

The teenager has been missing for nearly a week.(Supplied Nine) That s quite concerning and we want to make sure that he s okay, he said. We followed up with the school, and he unfortunately didn t attend school that day so he wasn t reported as attending school.
Police are investigating whether Bailey s disappearance is connected to 16-year-old Breeana Knowles who went missing from her Warrnambool address just a day after Bailey.
