A Sussex Police spokesman said: “He is described as reliable, punctual and hard-working.

“He had expressed a wish to stay in the UK, but he has no money, speaks very little English and because of his age, there are concerns for his welfare.”

Tian is described by police as 5ft tall, of slim build, oriental appearance with short thick black hair.

He was wearing a burgundy-coloured round-neck top with a large white V shaped logo on the chest, blue jeans and a short dark coloured zip-up jacket.
