Police are searching for a 14-year-old who went missing on Tuesday.

Rhys Millerchip was last seen leaving Seaford town centre on the morning of December 30.

He is described as white, 5'7", of slim build with dark brown hair and hazel eyes.

He was last seen wearing blue jeans, black Nike trainers and a khaki green zip-up jacket.

A police spokesman said while there are currently no suspicious circumstances there are concerns for Rhys's welfare because of his age and vulnerability.

He added that enquiries are also being made in the Sidcup and Welling areas of south-east London, where he has family and friends.

Anyone who has seen Rhys, or who knows where he might be is asked to call police on 101 or email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk, quoting serial 1116 of 30/12.
