THE mother of a missing 14-year-old boy has shared a message pleading for anyone with information about her son's whereabouts to contact the police.

Nasim has been missing for more than two weeks, and his family is “very concerned about his safety and wellbeing”.

He was last seen on Tuesday, May 3 in Ashton-on-Ribble in Preston, Lancashire.

Avon and Somerset Police are leading the investigation because Nasim has family in Somerset, but officers say he could be anywhere in the country.

In a statement shared by the police yesterday, Nasim's mum said: “I love him and I miss him.

“I want him to know that he is also being missed by his brothers, older sister and grandparents.

“We are all very concerned about his safety and wellbeing.

“We only want the best for him and we just need to know where he is so that we can bring him back home.

“If anyone knows where Nasim is, please come forward and call the police.”

Nasim has been described as between 5ft 9ins to 6ft tall with an afro hairstyle. 

He was last seen wearing a black Nike tracksuit, a beige t-shirt with a tiger print on the front, grey Nike Air 90s trainers, and a grey North Face beanie hat.

He also had a white JD Sports string bag.

Detective inspector Tristan Hawkes said: “We’re increasingly worried for Nasim’s welfare.

“He’s now been missing for more than a fortnight and we want him to know that we are here to support him and want to help.

“Nasim, if you see this, your family care about you very much and want to know you’re ok.

“Please just get in touch.”
