Police searching for a teenager missing from his North Yorkshire home for almost one month say they are “growing increasingly concerned” for his welfare.

Aldo, 17, was last seen at his home in Northallerton at around 10pm on Friday, July 5, and has made no contact with his family since.

North Yorkshire Police said he may have travelled to the Manchester area.

Aldo is described as white, southern European, 5ft10in tall, of slim build with short brown hair.

Police believe he does not have money with him so could be seeking work.

“Please contact your family, friends, the police, or if you prefer, contact the Missing People charity on 116 000 and let them know you are safe."
