Concern has been raised for the welfare of a missing teenager from Brighton.

Charlie Crookes, 14, was last seen leaving his home in Norwich Drive at 7am on Thursday (April 16).

Sussex Police's missing person co-ordinator Vicky Morris said: "Charlie was last seen wearing a blue Umbro T-shirt, a navy jumper, dark denim jeans and white trainers.

"He is white and around 5' 4".

"We believe he may still be in the Brighton area or travelled to Newhaven or Peacehaven where he has connections."
