An 11-year-old boy has not been seen since he was reported missing from his home in Southend.
Cameron Evans lives with his grandparents in Bournemouth Park Road. He was last seen by them at 1pm yesterday (January 10), after he told them he was going out to a friend's house.
The Seebrook College student did not return home and last night his grandparents contacted police who have spent the night and this morning searching for him.
He is described as white, 3ft 10ins to 4ft tall, has mousey brown cropped hair, brown eyes and was wearing a blue zip up hooded top, grey tracksuit bottoms and white trainers.
He was riding a red BMX bike.
Anybody with any information about where he may be is asked to contact officers at Southend on Essex Police 101.
