Police looking for Ben Porter, 17, who has been missing for a week

Ben Porter, who has links to Northwich, has not been seen for a week.

The 17-year-old was last seen at around 5.30pm on Friday (March 29) in the Upton area of Chester.

Cheshire Police has now launched an appeal for information from the public to help locate him.

Ben 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.”
