POLICE are searching for teenager Owen Harding.

The 16-year-old was last seen leaving his Saltdean home at about 7pm on Thursday, March 26.

He has not been in touch with any friends or family since then, and his disappearance is out of character.

Owen is white, about 5ft 9in, of athletic build, with short brown hair.

He normally wears white trainers, tracksuit trousers and a dark hoodie.

A Sussex Police spokesman said: “Anyone who sees him or knows where he could be is asked to report it online or call 101, quoting serial 1198 of 26/03.”
