Fears raised for missing teenager

Concern is mounting for the welfare of Gary Ling

The disappearance of a teenager missing for more than a week is "completely out of character", police have said.

Gary Ling, 18, was last seen by friends near to Liquid nightclub in Prince of Wales Road, Norwich, on 14 January.

Mr Ling, from the St Leonards Road area of Norwich, is white, of slight build, about 6ft, has short, light brown, spiky hair and is clean shaven.

He was last seen wearing a black waistcoat, a black and white scarf, blue jeans and brown shoes.

"His disappearance is completely out of character and concern is mounting for his welfare due to the length of time he has been missing," a Norfolk Police spokesman said.

"We would appeal directly to Gary to let either police or his family know he is safe and well."

Anyone with information regarding Mr Ling is asked to contact Norfolk Police.
