THE search for missing Tintagel teenager, Finnian Layland-Stratfield, has gone national.

Seventeen-year-old Finn was last seen around 6pm on Saturday, July 8, with his rucksack being found by a walker on the cliffs above Hole Beach, Tintagel, between 5pm and 5.30pm on Sunday, July 9.

Finn has been described as white, 5ft 9ins tall with a slim build. He has dark brown, medium length hair with a long fringe. He is clean shaven, but has some fluffy facial hair.

He has a black ear stretcher in his left ear, a tattoo NOAH 2005 on his left forearm, and a tattoo of a salamander on the rear of his right shoulder.

At the time of his disappearance, he was believed to be wearing a blue Superdry hoodie, grey or black jeans with holes in the knees and black army-style boots. He was carrying a rucksack, which was khaki green, and around two feet in length with pockets.

Finn has now been included on the national missing person’s website, Missing People, with a message to him reading: “Finn we are here for you whenever you are ready; we can listen, talk you through what help you need, pass a message for you and help you to be safe.”
