A 15-year-old boy has been reported missing from Slough having last been seen at 7.30pm on New Year’s Day.

Thames Valley Police have launched the appeal to help locate Jason Martey. He is black, around 6ft tall with a slim build. He was last seen dressed in grey tracksuit bottoms with orange stripes down the sides and a blue hooded top. The police say he may also be carrying a dark coloured rucksack with red lace attached.

It is believed that Jason could be using public transport to travel between London, Yeovil, Taunton or Southampton.

Deputy LPA Commander, Chief Inspector Zahid Aziz, said: “We are growing increasingly concerned for Jason’s welfare and would appeal for anyone who has seen him to get in touch with police.

“Jason, if you see this appeal then please contact us as we would like to know that you are safe and well. Anyone who believes they have seen Jason is asked to call 101 quoting reference number 43190000995.”
