Police are appealing for help in tracing a vulnerable missing teenager with links to the Trowbridge area.

Manh Duc Nong, who is thought to be 15 years old, went missing in the Marksbury Road area of Bedminster, Bristol, yesterday at about 9.30am. He has not been seen since.

He has links to Trowbridge and Avon and Somerset Police say it is possible he may try to travel to the area.

Manh is described as Vietnamese, about 5ft 5ins tall with short black hair. It is not known what he was wearing when he went missing.

He speaks very little English and may appear confused or shy and is not thought to have any money with him.

It is possible that he may try to use a train or bus and police are urging passengers on trains and buses in both the Bristol and Trowbridge areas to remain vigilant.

Anyone seeing Manh should contact Bristol CID via 101 and ask to be put through to Avon and Somerset Police, quoting MP2579/14.
