Police have appealed for help to find a 14-year-old boy who has been missing for the past six days.

Kieran Ball has not been seen since February 12.

The boy was last seen leaving Northfield Special School, in Blackbird Leys, and was wearing black trousers, black jumper and a black fleece bearing the school's logo.

He is 5ft 3in tall with short blond hair and hazel eyes.

Paul Garbett, missing persons co-ordinator, said: "We are concerned for Kieran’s welfare due to his age and would urge him to get in touch as soon as possible so we can make sure he is safe.

"Kieran lives at a children’s home in Chipping Norton at the moment, but has friends and family in Abingdon and we believe he might have gone there.

"I would urge anyone who knows Kieran’s whereabouts to contact us."

Anyone with information should contact police on 08458 505505 or Crimestoppers on 0800 55111.
