A NINE-year boy has gone missing.

Alfie Hacker was last seen leaving his home in Eastbourne around 5.20pm today.

He is white, 4’ 2”, of stocky build, with short brown hair and was last seen wearing a camouflaged t-shirt and a grey tracksuit with black cuffs.

He is believed to have a scooter with him and is thought to be in the company of three other boys.

We are asking anyone in the Langney area in particular near the shopping centre to keep an eye out for Alfie and to dial 999 if you see him.
