AN Albanian teenager staying in Sussex has gone missing.

Idriz Puci, 17, disappeared from his home in Heathfield at 10pm on Monday.

He is described as white, 5ft 10in, slim, with short mousey brown hair.

He wears a dark blue, thin piece of material around his neck.

Sussex Police's missing persons co-ordinator Shannon Marchesani said: "Idriz is known to go Brighton to visit the city's Albanian community but he may also have travelled to London.

"We are concerned for him as he does not know anyone in the country and is shy and vulnerable."

Anyone who has seen Idriz or has any information about his whereabouts is asked to email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk or ring 101 quoting serial 535 of September 22.
