CONCERN is growing for the welfare of a 16-year-old boy from Hereford who was reported on missing on June 29.

Nathan Rollinson was last seen at 11am at Herefordshire College of Technology where he was dropped off to get a hair cut.

He had arranged to meet his foster mother at 3.30pm but did not turn up. Nathan has not been in contact since and police are growing increasingly concerned about him and are keen to locate him safe and well.

They are appealing to Nathan to contact them or his foster parents to assure them that he is safe and well.

They also want to hear from anyone who believes they have seen him over the weekend or has information as to where he may be.

Nathan is described as white, around 6ft 4ins tall, with very short dark hair.

He is of heavy build and walks with a stoop.

He was wearing blue jeans, a white t-shirt, a dark blue shiny Helly Hanson jacket and white trainers.

PC Richard Allford, from Hereford Police, said: "Nathan is a particularly vulnerable young man due to his Asperger's and autism and we are keen to find him as quickly as possible and reunite him with his foster parents."

Anyone with information can contact police on on 08457 444 888.
