Appeal for help in tracing missing teenagers

Officers are appealing to a missing 16-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man from Rotherham to please make contact with police to advise they are safe and well.

Kyle Nelson (16), and Luke Elliott (19), were last seen at their home on James Street in Masbrough.

A spokeswoman said: “It is believed they left the address together last Thursday to go into Rotherham town centre but there has been no contact from either of them since.

“It is thought they could be in either Sheffield, Barnsley or Blackpool.”

Kyle is 5ft 9ins tall and of a slim build. He also has a scar on his left hand.

Luke is 5ft 6ins to 5ft 7ins tall and of a very slim build. He has short blonde hair and a tattoo of a woman's name on his left arm.

Anyone who believes they have seen them, or may know where they are, is asked to call the police on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111, quoting missing person number CX/5740/2014.
