Avon and Somerset Police say they're growing increasingly concerned for a missing 14-year-old boy who disappeared two weeks ago.

Nasim is from Preston in Lancashire but officers say he has strong links to Somerset.

He has not been seen since around 2:40pm on Tuesday 3 May in Ashton-on-Ribble, which is in Preston.

Avon and Somerset Police have now taken the lead on the search.

“We’re growing increasingly concerned for Nasim’s welfare," Detective Inspector Toby Hyder said.

“Although he has strong links to Somerset, he could still be in the general area where he went missing from, or anywhere else in the country.

"He’s just 14 years old, so please keep a look out for him and call us immediately if you see him.”

Nasim is described as being between 5ft 9ins and 6ft tall, with an afro hairstyle.

He was last seen wearing a black Nike tracksuit, a beige t-shirt with a tiger print on the front, grey Nike Air 90s trainers and a grey North Face beanie hat, while he had a white JD Sports string bag as well.

If you see him the police ask that you call 999 immediately and give the call handler the reference number 5222111109.

If you have any other information which would help the police find him, please call 101 and give the same reference number.
