BROMSGROVE police have issued a fresh appeal for information about a 15-year-old youth who has been missing since mid-November.

They say they are becoming increasingly concerned for Phillip Walker's safety and are asking commuters to keep an eye open for him.

Previous appeals for information about his whereabouts have been unsuccessful, but it is now believed he may be frequenting Birmingham City centre, especially the New Street station area.

He is white, has short dark hair, is 5ft 5in tall and of slim build. He is believed to be wearing a multi-coloured brace on his teeth.

Sgt Andy Chinn, of Bromsgrove police, said: "I would emphasise that any information the police receive will be treated in the strictest confidence.

"All we are concerned about is this young man's safety."

If you have any information, Bromsgrove police can be contacted on (01527) 584888.
