A 14-year-old school boy has been missing for a week.

Tapi Nheta, from Croydon, was reported missing on May 21.

Croydon Police and charity Missing People are urging anyone who knows him to get in touch if they have any information about the teenager’s whereabouts. 

A spokesman for Missing People, which runs a free 24/7 and confidential helpline, said: “Tapi, we are here for you whenever you are ready; we can listen, talk you through what help you need, pass a message for you and help you to be safe.”

The borough of Croydon has the highest number of missing children in London, according to Missing People, with eight to 14 children going missing every day.
