Marcus, 15, who is originally from Wales, was last seen on Wednesday 14 June 2017 at Lancashire Hill, Stockport.

He is described as 5ft 7in tall, of slim build, with brown shoulder-length hair extensions, blue eyes and speaks with a Welsh accent.

He is also known as Nicola Joe Thomas and was last seen wearing white jeans, black canvas pumps, a Minnie Mouse t-shirt, a grey marl cardigan and carrying a black and pink bag.

He may also be wearing full face make-up and hoop earrings.

He may be in the Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cardiff or Caerphilly area.

Sergeant Jim Arkwright of GMP’s Stockport Borough, said: “No-one has heard from Marcus for more than 48 hours now and our concerns are increasingly growing.

“We have reason to believe that he may have travelled to Wales but I’d ask people in Stockport and the surrounding areas to familiarise yourself with his photograph and get in touch with us if you see him.

“We need to make sure that Marcus is safe and well and we can only do that with the public’s help.”
