Police have issued an urgent appeal to try and find a 13-year-old boy who has been missing from the Bude area for four days.
Ben Stone has not been home since Friday evening and despite several confirmed sightings, there have been none since Monday evening.
His mum has issued a desperate plea, urging him to come home.
Officers say they are growing increasingly concerned for Ben's welfare.
He is described as a white male, of small build, with light brown hair and is 4ft 10in.
He may be wearing grey jogging bottoms, a lilac Nike T shirt, black Airforce trainers and over the shoulder black Nike bag.
He also has a grey hoody and a black hoody, so could be wearing either.
Anyone who sees Ben, or knows where might be, is being asked to call 999 straight away.
Devon & Cornwall Police said: "Police are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of 13-year-old Ben Stone, who has been reported missing from the Bude area.
"Ben was reported missing from an address in the Bude area at around 8.30pm on Friday 13th May."
They added: "There have been confirmed sightings of Ben by police since Friday but the last one was on Monday evening and officers were unable to speak to him".
If you have seen Ben, or know of his whereabouts, please call police immediately on 999 and quote log number 147 of 14/05/22.
