The mother of a missing teenage boy from Chadderton, who is believed to have boarded a train to London more than a week ago, has provided an update on the search.

Donna Duffy last saw her son Dillon when she dropped him off for work at Asda carpark in Chadderton on Tuesday, June 18. 

It was discovered that Dillon had purchased a train ticket to London Euston train station where CCTV captured an image of him exiting the station and heading in the direction of Euston road taxi rank at around 4.48pm that evening.

CCTV images have shown that Dillon was wearing a dark grey North Face zipped hooded jacket, a beige baseball cap, black tracksuit bottoms and black trainers with white soles.

He is described as a white male, 5ft 9in in size, with "dirty blonde" hair which is cut very short, with Ms Duffy saying he has recently shaved his head.

Ms Duffy has said the 18-year-old's case has now been passed to the missing persons unit at the Metropolitan Police.

She said: "It's obviously a big police area and they're inundated with missing person's cases and so we're not really getting anywhere with that at the moment in terms of footage. 

"It's vital that we get some CCTV footage of where he went after Euston station, my sister managed to get some footage for the police but that trail isn't being chased.

"It should lead to Euston square where we could find out if he got on another train or if he's still in London- we just don't even know at this point.

"We've come to a standstill."

Ms Duffy says there has been no sighting since he was missing and that her husband has even searched the Bridlington, on the Yorkshire coast due to a hunch based on Dillon's search history.

Dillon had left a note for his family telling them he was feeling low. 

Ms Duffy said: "We don't know what frame of mind he's in, from his google history it shows he was feeling really low and I'm feeling really sorry for him because I didn't know he was feeling that way. 

"I just want him to reach out so we can help and support him.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed they have issued an appeal for Dillon's case but have not yet got an update.
