ESSEX Police has launched an investigation after the disappearance of a teenager from Kelvedon.
Kaelin Dunne hasn’t been in touch with his mum Jade since he left his home in Kelvedon on Sunday afternoon.
A spokesman for the police force said: "We received reports on Wednesday, February 14 that an 18-year-old man was missing from the Kelvedon area.
"We have opened an investigation and our inquiries are ongoing."
Kaelin's mum, Jade Dunn, said her son had said he was going to catch a train to meet some friends but his phone has been switched off ever since.
He could’ve travelled to Huntingdon and sometimes stays with a friend in Chelmsford.
Jade said it’s “really out of character” for her son’s phone to be switched off.
She said: “He’s a typical 18-year-old; his phone is never out of his hand. He’s never gone this long without his phone on.
“I want him home. If anyone’s seen him, please get in touch.”
