A spokesman for Durham Constabulary said: “Our colleagues in Lancashire believe there is a possibility that Miles may be in County Durham and, in particular, he has connections with the Consett area. He was reported missing on March 15, which is almost two weeks ago, so we are anxious to hear from anyone who has seen him."
Miles is described as being of slim build, around 5ft 1in tall with short brown hair. He was last seen wearing a navy jacket, dark jogging bottoms and black trainers.
Anyone with information relating to his whereabouts, or who believes they may have seen Miles, is asked to contact Durham Constabulary on 101.
