He was last seen wearing a dark coloured flat cap, a brown/grey T-shirt, white shorts and black trainers. He is believed not to have any money or access to it.

Appealing for the assistance of the public, his family said: "Josh is a lovable person and we have left our world back home to be here for him.

"He is very goal oriented, very organised, detailed, kind, lovable and a respectful person.

"He has always kept in close communication to us. He is outspoken and very expressive. 

"The whole family is highly concerned for his well being. We really wish he contacts us as soon as possible.

"Josh please contact us, your parents, your brother or sister through email, text, phone call or by any other means."
