BREAKING NEWS: Vietnamese boys runaway from Worthing home
TWO VIETNAMESE boys thought to be part of a human trafficking operation have gone missing from a Worthing childrens' home.
Runaways Tam Xuan Le and Tuan Anh Tran, both 15-years-old, were last seen at a social services childrens' home in Worthing late in the evening on Saturday, January 23, but had disappeared by the following morning.
Tam is described as being 5 ft 6 ins, of slim build, with black hair, and was believed to be wearing a white hooded top with a check design. He wears two earrings in his left ear.
Tuan is described as being 5ft 7ins, of slim build, with black hair, and was believed to be wearing a light coloured jacket with a black blob logo, and blue jeans.
The two boys were taken into local authority care after being found by a Dutch driver in the back of his lorry when he stopped in Crawley on January 4.
It was suspected the boys may been have part of a human trafficking operation.
Sussex Police say there is no evidence or information at this stage to suggest they have come to harm.
However, the boys had little, if any, cash or other belongings, speak almost no English, and had clearly only just arrived in the UK when they were found.
Their details were immediately sent to the national charity 'Missing People' and to all police forces in the country.
Anyone who has seen the two boys or knows of their whereabouts is asked to contact Sussex Police on 0845 60 70 999, quoting Serial 411 of 24 January.
