The desperate hunt continues for two young brothers who have now been missing for six days.

David Woodforde 9, and his brother Peter, 12, were last seen riding their bikes from their Christies Beach home in Adelaide’s south around 5.15pm last Tuesday.

They rode off on dark coloured BMX bikes. 

South Australia Police were notified of the boys’ disappearance on the night and waited five days before launching a public appeal.

Police have concerns for the boys’ welfare but have no reason to suspect foul play.

‘Police have been searching for the children for five days, following numerous lines of enquiry and have put their photo out as a last resort,’ a statement read.
