Police are becoming increasingly concerned for the safety of a 17-year-old youth who went missing from Keighley.

Kevin Lee John King was last seen at his home in Braithwaite Drive on September 25.

A police spokesman said: "He was reported missing on October 19 and the police and his parents are becoming increasingly concerned for his welfare."

While it is thought he may be staying with friends in Keighley, the spokesman said he could also have travelled to London.

He said Kevin had gone missing before and added that he sent a card to his parents in October, shortly after he disappeared.

Kevin is described as white, about 6ft 3in tall, slim, with a fresh complexion, black short hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with any information about Kevin and his whereabouts should call Keighley police on 01535 617059.
