POLICE are concerned for the welfare of a teenager who went missing from home at the weekend.

Craig Foreman, 19, of The Dene, Medomsley, near Consett, County Durham, left home on Saturday.

A police spokesman said: "He is considered vulnerable and believed to be in a state of depression."

Police said anyone who sees him should not approach him because "he could turn violent due to his state of mind.''

He is white, 5ft 8in, of medium to stocky build and with a fair complexion and ginger short-cropped hair. He was wearing a beige or light brown fleece top and dark trainers.

Anyone who can help is asked to contact Consett police on (01207) 504204.
