An eight-year-old Lewisham boy has been reported missing.

Rhys Miller was last seen in Idonia Street, Deptford at about 5pm last night (Wednesday, February 15).

Given his age, the Metropolitan Police is extremely concerned for his welfare.

Rhys is described as a mixed race boy with short curly hair.

It is believed he was wearing a black jacket, black trousers with white paint marks, a grey and white pin-striped wool knitted jumper, a long-sleeved ‘Mario’ t-shirt, black gloves and blue and black ‘Kicker’ shoes at the time of his disappearance.

To offer information, call police on 101.
