A missing Scots teenage girl who has not been seen for five days could have travelled to Lanark or Ayrshire via public transport.
Kerys Lynch, 13, vanished from Wishaw General Hospital on Wednesday.
She was last seen at the medical hub at about 9.25pm, and police have been searching for her after she was reported missing by staff.
The teenager has links to both the Lanark and Ayrshire areas, where she may have travelled to by bus or train.
Police are keen to trace Kerys as soon as possible and have released a description of the teenager in the hope someone may have seen her in the last five days or so.
