The family of a teenager who has gone missing after travelling to London are heading to the capital to help in the search for him.

Dillon Duffy was last seen by his family after his mother, Donna Duffy, dropped him off close to the Asda supermarket, in Chadderton, Oldham, on Milne Street at 8am so he could go to work on the morning of Tuesday 18 June.

But Dillon, 18, never turned up.

It has since been confirmed he caught a train to Stoke at around 3.35pm from Manchester Piccadilly station, before going on to catch a train from there to London Euston.

He was last spotted at Euston station as he left the building and walked towards a taxi rank, Donna said.

She said Dillon's dad has travelled down to London to help with the search, with more family members on the way.

The Metropolitan Police has also issued an appeal for help to find Dillon."We are living our worst nightmare and we want our boy back safe", Donna said."We have been supported so well. Thank you to every single person that has shared, reached out and connected us to really useful links.

"Everything is appreciated but please let’s keep sharing, and if anyone sees Dillon contact us."The Met Police in Camden shared an appeal for help to trace the teenager on social media yesterday.
