A week on from the disappearance of a teenage boy in Westminster , police continue to appeal for help to find Tyler Cordner.

The 13-year-old who went missing while he was in care was last seen on Saturday (March 4) at around 3.45pm.

He is described as white, 5ft 5ins, slim with brown hair.

While he has gone missing before, officers say his welfare is at the heart of the this investigation.

Metropolitan Police have become increasingly concerned as he has not made contact with anybody since he went missing last Saturday.

He is know to have links to Ashford, Medway, Dartford in Kent, Liverpool, Southampton and Abergavenny in Wales.

When Tyler was last seen he was wearing a black jacket and black zipped top, although it is possible he may have changed his clothing.

Inspector Kevin Hebdon of Bexley Police said: "Tyler's welfare is at the heart of this investigation and would also ask anyone who knows of Tyler's whereabouts to contact police or the charity Missing People.

"I am appealing directly to Tyler to make contact with us to let us know that he is OK."

Anyone who has seen Tyler or knows of his whereabouts is asked to contact Bexley police on 101 or in an emergency call 999.

Alternatively, call the charity Missing People on 116000.
