A teenage girl from Baldock has been missing since Monday morning – and police are now appealing for help to find her.

Officers are growing increasingly concerns for the welfare of 14-year-old Joanne Cooper, who was last seen in the town centre just before 11am on Monday.

She is described at being white, between 5ft 3ins and 5ft 4ins tall, with dark brown medium-length hair and of slim build.

Joanne was last seen wearing a black blazer, a white shirt with a red and black tie, and trainers, and carrying a beige handbag.

She also has links to Welwyn Garden City and Stevenage.

If you have seen her since she was reported missing or have information regarding her whereabouts call police on 101 quoting ISR 254 of June 4.

If you’re with Joanne now or believe you have seen her in the last few minutes, call 999.
