Appeal to trace missing teenager from Chester

Officers are appealing for information from the public to help locate a missing teenager from Chester.

Ben Porter was last seen at around 5.30pm on Friday 29 March in the Upton area of Chester.

The 17-year-old is described as white, around 5'6" tall, of slim build, with short brown hair. At the time he was last seen, he was wearing a black North Face tracksuit.

Police Constable Philip Monks of the Protecting Vulnerable People Unit, said:

"It has now seven days since Ben was last seen and since anyone has heard from him - we are becoming increasingly worried and are concerned for his wellbeing.

"Ben is known to have links to the Chester, Northwich, Wirral and Merseyside areas and I would urge anyone who thinks that they may have seen him since he went missing, or knows where he may be now, to get in touch.

"The same goes for anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage of him since he disappeared.

“I would also like to appeal directly to Ben, to ask him to please get in touch.”
