Havering Police are searching for a “profoundly deaf” Romford teen who went missing late last night.

Folajimi Ayo-Adenuga, 15, was last seen at 11pm on Straight Road, Harold Hill.

The teenager wears a hearing aid because he is profoundly deaf, according to a police spokesman.

He is described as 6ft tall, of slim build and with a short, Afro hairstyle.

When he disappeared he was wearing a black T-shirt, grey jeans, and white trainers but he also had other clothes with him.

The 15-year-old has a Freedom Pass Oystercard that allows him to travel free on buses to destinations across London.

He is known to frequent the Harold Hill and Romford areas.

Anyone with information as to his whereabouts should call police on 101 or charity Missing People on 116 000.
