Police searching for a young mother and her baby who went missing from West Wickham are urging anyone who has seen them in Croydon to contact them immediately.

Terri Phillips, 22, and her 12-week-old son have been missing since December 21 after she failed to return the infant to Bromley social services, who had been caring for him.

Police have described her as white, slim, around 5' 3", with long, dark brown hair worn in a ponytail. She has a round face and fair complexion and also has her tongue and ears pierced as well as a tattoo of a red heart on the left side of her chest.

Terri was last seen wearing an ankle-length fake black leather coat, a light blue nylon blouse, a grey cord belt, grey trousers and thick soled shoes.

Her son has very short, brown, fine hair and is plump with blue eyes. He was wearing a blue denim one-piece outfit. The baby also suffers from hearing and sight impairment.

He was in a new pram, doubling as a carry cot and pushchair, which is upholstered in brown check.
