Police hunt for missing schoolboy

Version 0 of 1.

Police say they are "very concerned" about a 12-year-old boy who has been missing since Sunday.

Parvinder Singh, an immigrant who speaks little English and who has been in the UK only two months, was on his way home from seeing friends.

He was last seen near the Glades Shopping Centre in Bromley High Street, south London, at 1600 BST on Sunday.

Parvinder had shown no signs of wanting to run away and is not believed to have had any money with him, police said.

He has not had any contact with his foster parents since.

Officers are looking through CCTV tapes to find out where Parvinder went after leaving the shopping centre.

'Extremely worrying'

Det Insp Bryan Davidson from Bromley CID added: "It is extremely worrying that Parvinder has not made contact with anyone for two days.

"He has never been to the UK before so will not know his way around anywhere.

"We are very, very concerned as to his welfare and ask everyone in the area please to look out for him."

Parvinder, who is from India, has short black, spiky hair, is 4ft 11in tall and thin build.

When last seen, he was wearing black trousers and a mustard coloured shirt with silver design on the pockets, and black trainers.
