A TEENAGER missing for months could be in the North-East, say police.

Moray Howie-Peacock, from Aylesbury, was last seen in London on Valentine’s Day.

Thames Valley Police have now issued an appeal in the hope of tracing the 17-year-old as concerns grow over his welfare.

The missing teen has links to Middlesbrough, York and Hartlepool as well as Blackpool and Edinburgh.

Cleveland Police have joined the Thames Valley force in issuing an appeal to anyone with information to come forward.

Detective Inspector Joseph Banfield, who is leading the search, said: “I would like to speak to anyone who has seen Moray, or who has any contact with him, as we are concerned for his welfare and he has been missing for an extended period of time.

“I’d also like members of the public who think they recognise Moray to contact police so we can check he is OK.

“Moray if you see this appeal, please get in touch with police so we can ensure you are safe.”

Anyone who sees Moray should contact the 24-hour Thames Valley Police enquiry centre on 101 quoting 43170210590.
