Police are appealing for help to find a missing teenager from Salford.

Samuel Olabisi was last seen in Manchester City Centre last Tuesday (January 6) after getting on a tram in Piccadilly Gardens just before 3.40pm.

Officers say they are becoming increasingly concerned about the 16-year-old and want to make sure he is 'safe and well'.
