A teenager missing since mid-December is reported to have been spotted in Stevenage – and officers have this afternoon appealed again for the public’s help in tracing him.

Jack Hubbard, 14, has been missing from Welwyn Garden City since December 15, with sightings reported both there and in Stevenage.

He is described as being around 5ft 11in tall, of proportionate build, with short, untidy, brown hair.

He was last seen wearing a black puffa jacket, dark blue jeans and blue and white Adidas trainers.

A police spokeswoman said they want to speak to him to ensure that he is safe and well.

Anyone who sees Jack or knows of his whereabouts should call police on the non-emergency number 101.
