There are fears for the welfare of John "Chippy" Chip, 18, who left his home in Castletown, Sunderland, at 6.20pm on Thursday to go out with friends.

He was last seen on the Queen Alexandra Bridge, in the city, at 12.20am on Friday. He was described as 5ft 8in, slim, with short red hair, and was wearing a long-sleeved top and pale trousers.
