A RENEWED appeal has been issued to a teenager who has now been missing for five weeks.

Arthur Heeler-Frood went missing from his home in Axminster on Tuesday, September 6.

His parents, Caroline and Jeremy Heeler-Frood, have now once again pleaded with their son to make contact.

Mrs Heeler-Frood said: “We’re missing you terribly. We don’t know that you are safe or what situation you’re in. I don’t think you realise how hard it is for us, please make contact.”

Police are also asking anyone who may have employed Arthur, accommodated him or may have provided him with transport to get in touch.

Superintendent Sam de Reya said: “We are appealing to business owners, likely to be restaurateurs, hoteliers and cafe owners who may have had a young man work for them in the last four to five weeks or anyone who may have provided accommodation to him in that time period.”

Arthur went missing after leaving his family home in Axminster on the morning of Tuesday, September 6 and failed to turn up to school.

He is white, five foot four inches tall, of slight build with short, light brown hair.

Police said he may now have considerably shorter hair, possibly shaven.

Police wish to hear from anyone who may have employed, accommodated, or transported Arthur over the last four to five weeks.

Please contact police on 0800 096 1233 quoting log 255 of September 14 2016 if you have any information.
