Concern is growing for a teenage boy who has been missing for a week.

Joe French, 16, from Hove, was last seen in Croydon at 1.45pm on May 6. It is thought he may have got on a train to Worthing.

Joe is described as white, 5' 2", of medium build, with short light brown hair and a fair complexion. He was wearing a black puffa jacket, dark blue jeans and black trainers.

PC Mike Harvey said: "We are concerned for the welfare of Joe due to his age. He has friends in Brighton and Hove, Worthing, and Chichester so maybe in any of these locations."

Anyone who has seen Joe or has knowledge of his whereabouts is asked to contact police on 101 or email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting serial 1546 of 06/05.

 

Update: He came home on Thursday and is safe and well.
