Police are appealing for help to find a missing teenager from Folkestone.

16-year-old Patrick McDonagh was last seen by his brother in Folkestone on Saturday afternoon (18.9.10) when he said he was going swimming at Folkestone Sports Centre, but has not been seen since.

His family are growing increasingly concerned as it is out of character for Patrick not to stay in touch and are urging him to contact them.

Patrick is white, of stocky build with brown eyes and speaks with an Irish accent and was last seen wearing jeans, a red top and trainers.

Anyone who has seen Patrick or knows of his whereabouts is asked to contact Kent Police on 01622 690690 or the missing people charity on 0500 700 700
