Urgent hunt for missing boy, 13, last seen wearing Harry Potter backback as anyone who sees him urged to call 999

COPS have launched an appeal to find a missing 13-year-old boy who was last seen with his Harry Potter backpack.

Youngster Rhiley Villers, from Chatham, Kent, was last seen at 1pm on Tuesday wearing a red hoodie with black Adidas tracksuit bottoms.

Rhiley, who is described as roughly 5ft 3in with blond hair, is believed to be carrying a beige Harry Potter rucksack with him.

The teenager is thought to have been wearing the red hoodie with a black and white Adidas jacket and navy blue trainers.

Kent Police said that he may be riding a black-framed Mongoose bike with white writing.

He is also understood to have links to neighbouring areas Medway and Sheerness.

Rhiley previously sparked a frantic search in February this year when he vanished at a supermarket with a friend.

He was discovered with 14-year-old pal Olivia Fulford a day after the pair went missing following a trip to Asda on Maidstone Road, Chatham.
