Search for missing Hove teenager

8:56am Friday 26th October 2012 in News

Teenager Laley Lane has not been seen since she arrived at London Victoria station after leaving Hove on Saturday, October 20.

Sussex Police have appealed for help tracking down the 13-year-old as officers are concerned about her vulnerability due to her age.

She caught a train from Brighton and arrived at London Victoria just before 8pm.

Laley is white, about 5' 3", of slim build, with shoulder length hair which was pink at the front and red at the back, hazel eyes, and has pearl studs in the top of her left ear.

She was wearing a dark grey hoodie, black jeggings and black Nike trainers and was also carrying a small blue drawstring bag.

She has family links to Kent including Whitstable and Dover.

Superintendent Steve Whitton said: "We have already been making widespread enquiries locally and in London and amongst Laley's friends and family, but with every day that passes we are becoming more concerned as she is a very vulnerable young girl.

"If you have seen Laley, or have any information about where she may be, please contact Sussex Police urgently on 101 quoting serial 0402 24/10 or call the Missing People charity on their confidential 24 hour helpline – 116000."
