Police say they are "incredibly concerned" about the welfare of a missing teenager last seen in Kirkbride.

Liam Solomon, 15, has not been seen since 8.50pm today.

He is described as 5ft7ins tall, blond hair and of slim build. Liam is believed to be wearing a dark blue Adidas fleece with white stripes, Nike tracksuit bottoms in blue and black, a grey North Face jacket with blue Nike trainers.

Liam also has links to Sunderland and might have travelled to the northeast.

A police spokesperson said: "Police also ask Liam, if he sees this appeal to contact police directly to let them know he is safe and well."

If anyone has seen Liam they are asked to contact Cumbria Police on 101.
