Derbyshire police ‘seriously concerned’ for the welfare of missing Buxton 14-year-old

Derbyshire Police are reappealing for information on the whereabouts of 14-year-old Lucas, who is missing from Buxton.

The teenager left an address in the Harpur Hill area, where he had been staying, on the afternoon of Saturday 30 August.

He was also reported missing earlier in the week and had been found safe, but officers say they are seriously concerned for his welfare. They want to hear from anyone who has information on his whereabouts or has seen him since yesterday. He has links to Doncaster and may have travelled there, or further afield.

Lucas is about 5ft 9ins, of slim build and with brown hair. He was last seen wearing a black hoodie, blue shirt, dark grey shorts with blue detail on the sides, black trainers and white socks.
