Police believe he may make his way to Brighton city centre by bus or train, where in the past he has been seen with the street community, especially in the New Road, St James’s Street and London Road areas.

There is natural concern for Charlie because of his age, some learning difficulties, and his apparent connection to the street community in Brighton.

Anyone who sees Charlie or knows where he may be is asked to contact Sussex Police via 101, or [email protected] quoting serial 619 of 29/01.
