Federal police have begun a mass search for a missing 10-month-old baby boy who was last seen about a month ago in the ACT.

The child, Hoang Vinh Le, was reported missing on April 9 this year.

According to the AFP and the Federal Circuit Court of Australia, the child was last seen at a medical practice in the north Canberra suburb of O’Conner.

He was then put into a silver Isuzu MU-X Wagon that had New South Wales registration CF 72 YI.

The baby had not been seen since but authorities said he could have been taken to the Temora area in NSW at any time after April 9.

Hoang was born on June 21 last year and is suspected to be with his mother Lyn Kim Do and father Hoang Thanh Le.

Hoang and/or Mr Le and Ms Do may have also visited the West Wyalong vicinity and are currently believed to be in Sydney’s Liverpool or Bankstown areas.

The baby’s mother, 21, and father, 28, are both Vietnamese Australians.
