Police appeal for information on missing teenager from Bristol

Woodside Police are appealing for information regarding a missing 15-year-old girl from Bristol.

The teenager, known only as Sophia, was last seen on Friday October 15, but has been in contact with her family since.

She was last seen wearing black, shiny leggings, a black padded jacket and black Nike trainers. Sophia is 5'4'', white, medium build and has long brown hair and brown eyes.

She also has a burn mark on her left cheek.

Sophia could be in the St Paul's or Clifton area of Bristol, but also has links with the Tottenham area of north London.

The force have asked for anyone who knows where Sophia is to call 999, quoting reference number 5221241805, or ring 101 with any other information.

According to the Missing People charity, somebody is reported missing every 90 seconds in the UK, equating to a total of 170,000 people.

Of that number, almost 98,000 are adults and more than 70,000 are children.

The charity also states that 75% of adults are found within the first 24 hours of being reported missing and 85 per cent are found within two days, while five per cent are not found in the first week.

For children, the respective figures are 80%, 90% and two per cent.
