Police are searching for a teenager who went missing nearly three weeks ago.

Eddie Spagnol, 14, attended Sydney Russell school in Dagenham until November 2012 and was last seen on Tuesday, February 19 at his home in Romford.

Police believe he could be with friends in the Barking and Dagenham area. He was last seen wearing a dark coloured coat, black jogging bottoms and blue trainers.

The teenager’s family are becoming increasingly concerned and are urging anyone who knows where Eddie is to contact the Missing Persons Unit at Met Police Havering on 01708 779230 or to call 101.
