An 18-year-old has been missing from Hitchin for more than a week, and police have today appealed for the public’s help finding him.

Charlie Kempster has been missing since Wednesday last week, and police think he may be in Stevenage, Hitchin or London.

Charlie is described as a slim white man, about 5ft 8in, with straight blond shoulder-length hair.

He was last seen wearing a blue-green Ellesse tracksuit top with black hooded top underneath, black trousers and black Adidas Gazelle trainers with white stripes.

Anyone who sees him should call Herts police immediately on 101, quoting ISR 171 of March 19.
