Police have appealed for help in finding a teenager missing for more than two weeks.

Jane Watton, 15, has not been seen by her family since she left her home in Pankhurst Avenue, Brighton, on March 14.

Police believe she has been sleeping rough and Sergeant Richard Hamlin said she was known to have been with drug users in the Grand Parade area.

He said: "We are concerned someone of that age has been missing for this length of time."

The teenager's mother, Christine Watton, said: "I am very concerned about Jane and just want her to get in touch to let us know that she is all right."

Jane, a pupil at St George's School, in Dyke Road, is 4ft 9in, with blue eyes and brown shoulder length-hair.

She wears a number of earrings in both ears.
