TWO New Forest teenagers who have run away together may be in London.

Police are investigating reports that Luke Parker, 15, and his 13-year-old girlfriend, Chantelle Fisher, pictured, were seen in the Vauxhall area of the city.

Officers are also investigating claims that the pair were spotted in Bournemouth.

But officers are continuing to concentrate their inquiries in Slough, Berkshire, where Luke has friends and relatives.

Social services staff in the area have been alerted in case the two runaways, thought to be sleeping rough, turn to them for help.

The teenage sweethearts disappeared from their homes on August 2. They vanished shortly after Chantelle, of Shorefield Way, Milford-on-Sea, arrived at Luke's house and said she planned to stay the night.

Luke, who also lives in the village, announced that he was going to see a friend. However, his mother later discovered he had not arrived and Chantelle was not in bed.

The two teenagers were seen in Slough on August 5 and are thought to have made a phonecall from Iver, Buckinghamshire, the next day.
