Police say they are growing “increasingly concerned” for the welfare of a teenage boy missing for a week.

Jayden, 16, was last seen in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, at midday last Saturday (December 16).

The teenager has links to Harringay, as well as St Albans, Harpenden, Potters Bar, Hemel Hempstead, London Colney and Clacton.

He is described as being 5ft 10in tall and of slim build with short, black, curly hair.

Jayden was last seen wearing a black and red coat, black jogging bottoms and white trainers.

A police spokesperson said: “Officers are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare.

“If you have seen Jayden since he was reported missing or have information about where he has been, please call the non-emergency number 101 and request to be connected to Hertfordshire Constabulary Force Communications Room, quoting Hertfordshire ISR 92 of Sunday 17 December.”

They added that if you believe you are with Jayden now, or have seen him in the last few moments, you should call 999 immediately.
