CONCERN is growing  for the welfare of a missing 18-year-old from Ottershaw.

Joshua Habgood was last seen around 12.30am at a property in the Brox Road area of the town, but was reported missing by a family member at around 7am this morning ( July 29).

Joshua who has Downs Syndrome is described as a white man, around 5ft 7ins in height, of broad build and with dark brown hair.

It is believed he may be carrying a blue rucksack. He was last seen wearing mustard coloured trousers and a navy jumper.

This is completely out of character for Joshua and officers are making a number of enquiries to locate him.

Anyone who has seen Joshua or knows his whereabouts is urged to contact Surrey Police as a matter of urgency on 101 quoting reference P13228874.
