Gloucestershire Constabulary is appealing for help to locate a teenage boy who has been reported missing since leaving an address in Tuffley, Gloucester.
Concern is growing for the welfare of Elijah, 17, who has not been seen since February.
Work has been ongoing to try and locate him, and police are now asking for help from the public with any information on Elijah’s whereabouts as there are growing concerns for his safety.
It is believed he has travelled around the country, and was then in Scotland a few weeks ago (Mid-March).
Elijah had left an address in Tuffley on 14 February saying he was going to stay with a family member, but did not attend there.
Since then he has been in contact with people, but this has been limited and officers would like to speak to him to ensure his safety as he is vulnerable due to his young age.
Elijah is described as being mixed race, 6ft 1ins tall, of a broad build and has short afro hair which is shorter on the sides and longer on top.
It is not known what he is wearing.
Police are appealing for anyone who has seen Elijah or knows of his whereabouts to call Gloucestershire Constabulary on 101 and quote incident 473 of 14 February. If seen at the time of calling dial 999.
