Officers are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of a missing 15-year-old boy who was last seen in Stevenage three days ago.

A police appeal has today been launched to trace Mica Carter, who was last seen in York Road on Tuesday evening.

He is described as white, about 5ft 11in tall and of a stocky build.

Mica was last seen wearing a green parka jacket with a fur hood, grey canvas shoes, black or grey jogging bottoms and carrying a black Adidas bag.

Officers are growing increasingly concerned for Mica’s welfare and anyone who has seen him or knows of his whereabouts should call Herts police’s non-emergency number 101, quoting ISR 377 of December 14.
