Police are appealing for help after a 15-year-old boy went missing from the Harlow area three days ago.
Gary Akister went missing from an address in the town on July 16.
Gary, who is originally from Kent and police say is vulnerable due to his age, could be anywhere in Essex, and is also known to have friends in London, Norfolk and Suffolk.
He is described as black, 5ft 8ins tall, with a stocky build, black curly hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing black and grey Adidas top and black Nike trainers.
Anyone with any information about his current location is urged to contact Essex Police on 101.
