Police have launched an urgent appeal to trace a missing 17-year-old boy who has strong links to Birmingham. The teenager was last seen in the city and officers are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare.
Details of the Missing Teenager
The missing boy, who has not been named, is described as white, of slim build, and around 5 feet 8 inches tall. He has short brown hair and was last seen wearing a grey hooded top, dark tracksuit bottoms, and white trainers. Police believe he may have traveled to the Birmingham area and are urging anyone with information to come forward.
Police Appeal
A spokesperson for West Midlands Police said: “We are becoming increasingly concerned for the welfare of this teenage boy and are asking anyone who has seen him or knows of his whereabouts to contact us immediately. He has links to Birmingham and may be in the city or surrounding areas.”
The force has issued a plea for the public to check CCTV, doorbell cameras, or dashcam footage that may have captured the teenager. They are also asking the boy himself to get in touch to confirm he is safe.

Anyone with information is asked to contact West Midlands Police via 101 or the force’s website, quoting log number 489 of 12 February.
