North Yorkshire Police has issued an urgent appeal to the public to help them track down a missing teenage boy.

Leland has gone missing from Grewelthorpe, near Ripon. He was last seen on Thursday 23 May at about 4.30pm in Wetherby.

Police believe the 15-year-old has travelled elsewhere by bus – and the force is now growing increasingly concerned for his safety.
