“He is a very vulnerable young adult and has been missing important medication for two days now so may be slurring or sleepy.

“He got on a bus in Mile Oak on Thursday morning at 9 am-ish to buy a drill from B&Q in Shoreham. 

“Called from the bus to ask where B&Q was and we haven’t heard from him since.

“Completely out of character. Police aware and searching. He has taken absolutely nothing with him apart from money for the drill.

“Please check outbuildings and corners. He would be susceptible to start talking to strangers so could be with others.

“The bus driver has just confirmed he dropped Tom off in Boundary Road so we know he got that far. 

“He would have been walking down towards the Coastliner stop.”
