CCTV footage of a missing 14-year-old boy has been released ten days after his disappearance.
Rashid Elsafi-Bakkar, 14, was last seen at his Wembley home at around 10pm on March 20.
Police say there has been “no clear reason” for his disappearance and it has prompted a message of concern from his school, Ark Elvin Academy.
In new images released by the Met, a video shows the boy walking with a rucksack near his home address in Beresford Avenue at 9.45pm on March 20.

Other clips show him walking on Sunleigh Road at around 10.10pm and Mount Pleasant going towards Ealing Road at around 10.15pm.
Detectives believe he was wearing a grey hooded top, dark coloured jacket and trousers, distinctive blue Nike trainers with a white tick and carrying a light coloured rucksack.
According to the Met, he has not been seen or heard from since and was reported as missing on March 21 at 5.30pm after his family discovered he hadn’t attended school.

Detective Superintendent Pete Wallis said: ten days since the last known sighting of him, we are extremely concerned for Rashid's welfare.
"Our colleagues in the North West Command Unit continue to support us and we're utilising a number of resources from across the Met in our efforts to trace him.
"While our work to establish all the facts is ongoing, there is still no clear reason for his going missing.”
