Boy, 14, missing for more than two weeks spotted on train from London

A teenager from Whitstable, Kent, has been missing for nearly two weeks.

Alfie Caney was seen along Cromwell Road, a long residential street that curves into the coastal town’s railway station, at 4pm on September 23.

The boy, 14, was spotted on CCTV a week later, at 9.13am on September 30, on the Dartford to Gravesend rail service.

He was travelling from London and exited the train at Stone Crossing, a station near Stone which is served by Southeastern and Thameslink trains.

Stone Crossing is 33 miles northwest of Whitstable. While a bus service connects the two, train journeys involve going through nearby Ashford.

Police said in a new appeal this morning that Alfie is around 5’8″ with short brown hair and brown eyes.

The CCTV footage shows he was wearing dark jogging bottoms and a black Peter Storm puffer jacket.

The force added: ‘Officers are urging anyone who may have seen Alfie, including any fellow train passengers or anyone who saw him at any station after Dartford, to contact them.’
