Surrey Police is appealing for information that will help us find a vulnerable 17 year old missing from Staines-upon-Thames and who may be in the Tottenham, Woolwich, or Greenwich areas.

Osei Bonsu was last seen by his mother on the 29 September, but is believed to have been seen in the Northumberland Park, Tottenham area with friends in the last few days – but he also has links to the Woolwich and Greenwich areas. Officers are particular concerned for Osei’s welfare as he may be at risk of being exploited into criminal activity.

Osei is described as black, of medium build with short black hair. He was last seen wearing blue jeans, white trainers and a black jacket, he was also carrying a small bag – however he may not be wearing them after this period of time.

Officers are keen to speak to anyone who has seen Osei in the last week; or knows where he is; or knows anyone who may have had contact with him.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Surrey Police on 101, quoting reference PR/45190103872 - in an emergency please call 999. If you do not wish to leave your name, please call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
