'Worried' police launch search for missing Sheffield boy

De'Jhan Mckay-Freeman, aged 16, was last seen in the Grimesthorpe area of the city on Wednesday, September 16, officers said today.

He is described as being approximately 5ft 11ins in height, and is of slim build. Officers making the appeal today said that he sometimes wears his hair in cornrows, but he also sometimes also wears it in an Afro.
