Detectives are appealing for the public’s help to find a 21-year-old man who has been missing from Ealing for more than a week.

Samuel was last seen on Tuesday, 16 December after leaving his family home to go for a walk and buy food. He left carrying a skateboard and a backpack.

He was spotted at around 19:40 near Greenford Broadway Station, an area he regularly visits for leisure walks. Police enquiries indicate that he later visited the Tesco Superstore on Old Western Avenue at around 23:45 the same evening.

Samuel is described as 6ft tall with a medium build. Officers say they are increasingly worried for his welfare.

Detective Sergeant Gary Walker, from the Met’s Missing Persons Unit, said: “It has now been one week since Samuel was last seen and we are increasingly concerned for his welfare. Samuel is particularly vulnerable as he takes medication daily, and without it his health could be significantly impacted. We are asking anyone who may have seen him or knows where he is to contact us immediately.”

Samuel is known to frequent high streets in Greenford, Sudbury Hill and Harrow.

Anyone with information is urged to call 999 quoting CAD 6613/19DEC.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.
