Despite hundreds of potential sightings across the UK, when they were investigated none were Andrew.
Five years ago, images of were produced to show what Andrew may look like as he grew up and changed over the years.
Detective Chief Inspector Joanne Bates said: “Andrew was 14-years-old when he went missing, and there has been no contact or positive sightings of him since this time".
She added: “I would ask anyone, maybe new friends, neighbours or work mates, who believes they know a 24-year-old man that could be Andrew, but aren’t aware of his past beyond the last few years to please make come forward.
“In addition, any professionals, including doctors, dentists or hospital staff who may have treated a 24-year-old man who has no records going back beyond the last ten years, you could hold information that proves vital to locating Andrew and I would ask you to please make contact with police.
“And to Andrew, a personal appeal, please contact us, completely confidentially, and let us know you are safe and well and we can reassure your family you have come to no harm.”
