A TEENAGER with learning difficulties has gone missing from her college.

Police are concerned for the welfare of Laura Douglas, 17, of Ditchling, after she was last seen at Northbrook College in Worthing.

She is white, 4ft 11in tall, with shoulder-length straight brown hair and brown eyes. She has piercings in her ears and tongue. She was last seen by her college tutor at about 1.30pm when she was wearing a burgundy Nike zip-up hooded top and grey joggers.

It is thought she may have travelled to Southampton, but has connections to Burgess Hill, Brighton and Worthing.

Anyone who sees her or knows of her whereabouts is asked to call 101 quoting 997 of 21/09.
