Police believe a teenager missing since August might be in Croydon or Worthing.

Gbombo Neba has been missing from his care home in Henfield since August 9, and police are concerned for his welfare.

The 16-year-old is originally from the Waltham Forest area of London, but recently moved to West Sussex.

He is described as Afro-Caribbean, 6ft of stocky build, with short dark hair and speaks with a London accent.

He was last seen on Thursday August 9, near Lancing Railway Station and was wearing blue jeans, black trainers and brown jumper.

PC Ollie Pullen from Horsham Neighbourhood Response Team said: "Due to Gbombo's age and now the length of time he has been missing we are becoming increasingly concerned for his welfare.

"Since Gbombo was reported missing Sussex Police, with the help of the Metropolitan police, have pursued a number of enquiries in order to try and locate him."

Anyone with information relating to Gbombo's whereabouts should contact Sussex Police on 101 quoting serial 1723 09/08
