The search for a 16-year-old who went missing from Budleigh Salterton is now entering its fourth week.

Police are 'growing increasingly concerned' for the safety of a 16-year-old Vietnamese male, Nam Vu Van, who is missing from his home in Budleigh Salterton, East Devon.

Nam Vu Van was last seen walking along Station Road in the town at around 2.30pm on Wednesday 29 April. He has not been seen since.

Police have concerns for the teenager due to his age and because he was new to the area.

Nam is described as Asian, of slim build, 5'9" in height with short black straight hair. He was last seen wearing a light coloured padded jacket, light tracksuit bottoms and black trainers.

Anyone who may have been in the area of Station Road or the High Street in Budleigh Salterton between 2pm and 3pm on the day he was reported missing, or anyone who has seen Nam since he was reported missing, is asked to get in touch.

In addition, police would like to hear from motorists who may have dashcam footage of the area the day he went missing.

Nub News contacted Devon and Cornwall Police for an update today. We asked the police if there were any updates? How many officers are involved in the search? If there is any new information which may aid the public spot Nam? And, if they would like to renew the missing persons appeal?

A spokesperson for Devon and Cornwall Police said: "He is still missing, so you can say the search for Nam continues..."

Anyone with any information that could assist officers' search for Nam is asked to contact police on 101 or by emailing [email protected], quoting log number 664 of the 29/04/2020.
