Fears are growing for the safety of a missing teenager.

Fifteen-year-old Debbie Sales from Seaford was reported missing after failing to return from school last Tuesday.

She was last seen with friends at the fair in Princes Park, Eastbourne, yesterday.

She is described as white, 5ft and of slim build, with long blonde hair.

On the morning she left her home for school she was wearing her school uniform which is a blue shirt, navy blue blazer and grey skirt with a denim rucksack.

However it is believed she could now be wearing different clothes.

Sussex Police missing persons co-ordinator Wai Lee said: "We are concerned about Debbie because of her age.

"As well as Seaford and Eastbourne, she could also travel to Newhaven and Brighton. Please get in contact if you have any information that could help us find her."

Anyone who sees Debbie or has information about her whereabouts should email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk or call 101 quoting serial 1756 of June 30.
