A father and his six-year-old twin boys have been missing from their Croydon home for more than a day, police have said.

Fazal Hossenbux was last seen with his two sons, Farden and Farhan, at 3.30pm on Tuesday at a children's nursery in the Thornton Heath area.

The 54-year-old is described as Asian, 5ft 6ins tall, with receding grey hair and a grey beard. He is known to frequent the area around Southend-on-Sea.

Police are growing increasingly concerned as Mr Hossenbux suffers from a number of health issues.

Anyone who has seen him or his children, or who knows of their whereabouts, is asked to call police in Croydon via 101 or Missing People on 116000.
