Police are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of missing Uffculme teenager Max Emery.

The 17-year-old was last seen in the vicinity of St Petrocks College in Tiverton at around lunchtime on Tuesday 6 January 2015.

He failed to meet his mother as arranged and this is described by his family as being extremely out of character.

Max (pictured) suffers with Aspergers and may struggle to interact with those around him or seek help.

He is described as white, 6ft 2ins, of slim build, with dark hair.

Max was wearing navy blue trousers with a navy zip through hooded jacket. He had no coat but was carrying a black rucksack with white Nike lettering.

Police investigations at this stage suggest that Max is likely to still be in the Tiverton area.

Anyone with any information or any sightings should call police on 101 quoting log number 448 of 6 January.
