POLICE are urgently trying to find a boy with broken English who has been missing from his foster parents' home.

Parvinder Singh, 12, only recently arrived in England and is living in Bromley.

He was last seen at about 4pm on Sunday near the Glades shopping centre in Bromley High Street. He had been out with friends but did not return home.

Detectives say they are "very concerned" for Parvinder's safety because he has only been in the country a short time, has limited English and is not believed to have any money with him.

He is described as of Indian appearance, with short black, spikey hair. He is 4ft 11in and of thin build.

When last seen, he was wearing black trousers and a mustard-coloured shirt with a silver design on the pockets and black trainers.

Det Insp Bryan Davidson, from Bromley CID, said: "It is extremely worrying that Parvinder has not made contact with anyone for two days.

"He has never been to the UK before so will not know his way around anywhere."

Anyone who sees or thinks they may have seen Parvinder is asked to phone Bromley police on 020 8284 8859.
