A FAMILY is desperately appealing to find their son who has been missing for three days.

Mohammed Vaseem, better known as Ilyas, was last seen in Loxford Lane, Ilford at around 5pm on Tuesday (April 4).

The 14-year-old from Seven Kings is believed to visited his aunt’s house, where he was playing football outside when he disappeared.

He is 6ft, broad, with short black hair and a slit in his eyebrow. He was last seen wearing a dark blue hoodie and bright red high top trainers.

Ilyas is known to frequent Seven Kings, Ilford and Barking.

His mother, father, and uncle have taken to social media to help find him, which has seen the search spread nationwide.

His uncle said: “Please bring Ilyas home or even just a phone call to know he’s okay.

“Today I am breaking down and crying over my nephew’s disappearance.”

Anyone who has any information about where Ilyas is should call police on 101.
