Missing persons co-ordinator Shannon Marchesani said: “Reece has gone missing before and has a fascination for trains and buses.

“He has previously been found at railway stations in Sussex and as far afield as London and we are making enquiries with bus and rail companies and British Transport Police as part of our search.

“There is no evidence at this stage to suggest that any harm has befallen him, but we are concerned for him because he is autistic and his age.”

Anyone who has seen Reece or knows where he may have gone is asked to contact police via [email protected] or call 101, quoting serial 0636 of 26/04.

UPDATE: Reece has now been found safe and well, thank you to all who shared.
