A boy of 13 who has gone missing from his Hertfordshire home is thought to be somewhere in Herne Bay.

Police have described Luke Meller as “vulnerable” and are appealing for anyone who may have seen him to come forward.

Luke now lives in Maple Cross, near Watford. But he used to live in Herne Bay, has a lot of friends in town, and was spotted there last Thursday.

He is described as of slim build, about 5ft 6in, with short mousy-brown hair and hazel eyes. He was last seen wearing a black Nike Air Max jacket with white writing and black Nike Air trainers.

Anyone with information on Luke should call police on 0845 3300 222.
