An Duc, 15, has been missing from Outwell since before Christmas 2011

POLICE are following up “various inquiries” into the disappearance of a teenage boy from Outwell who has been missing since before Christmas last year.

An Duc, 15, is believed to have disappeared from the village, on the Norfolk and Cambridgeshire border, between 10.30pm on Thursday December 22 and 8.30am the following day.

The Vietnamese national is described as 5ft 5in tall, of medium build, with short black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing white Nike trainers, a grey knitted cardigan and T-shirt and grey jogging bottoms.

He is believed to have links to the Peterborough, Leeds, Birmingham, and London areas, although officers are considering the possibility he could be anywhere in the UK.

Police are keen to speak to anyone who believes they may have spotted a teenager matching the same description in the Outwell area, or may know where An is.

They have also encouraged the 15-year-old to make contact himself so that they know he is safe and well.

Anyone with information is asked to call Norfolk Police on 101.
