THE search is on for a teenager who went missing from his home in Stourport-on-Severn earlier this week.

Seventeen-year-old James Jackson has not been seen since 9am on Monday , when he was spotted walking along Linden Avenue, towards an area known as The Rough, off Princess Way.

He has disappeared several times before and is regarded as vulnerable as he suffers from learning difficulties.

James is described as white, 6ft tall, of slim build with short, cropped brown hair.

Police are appealing for anyone who has seen him, or anyone who has any information, to contact them on 08457 444 888.
