Police are appealing for information to locate 15-year-old Mahmoud Dawood, who has been missing for almost three weeks.

Mahmoud was last seen on Wednesday September 20 leaving his home in Haden Way, Willingham, to travel to Peterborough to meet a friend.

He was last spoken to over the phone on Saturday September 23 when he said he was okay and in Peterborough.

It is believed that he could be in either the Peterborough or Wisbech area.

Mahmoud is described as middle-eastern, 5’9”, stocky with short, black hair and brown eyes.

Officers are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare due to the length of time that has passed without Mahmoud being in touch with anyone.

Anyone with information about Mahmoud’s whereabouts, or anyone who believes they may have seen him, is urged to contact police on 101 quoting incident 2 of 23 September.
