Police have appealed for help finding a teenager who has been missing for more than 24 hours without his medication.

Troy Slater, who lives in Hounslow, was last seen yesterday in Slough at about 5pm and was last spoken to at about 7.30pm.

Officers are particularly concerned for the 17-year-old's safety as he does not have his medication with him.

He is described as white, with a slim build and short blond hair. He was last seen wearing a black sleeveless jacket with a rip in the back showing the stuffing, dark blue jeans and underpants with stars on which may be showing. His shoes are black and he may be wearing a flat cap.

Troy has strong links to the Slough area and also has connections with Deal in Kent.

Anyone who has seen him or knows of his whereabouts is asked to call police on 101 and if possible quote reference 14/MIS001711.
