Concerns are growing for a missing girl who has links to Stevenage.

Charley Poole left her Nottinghamshire home at about 10pm last night and has not been seen since.

An appeal to find her has been launched by Nottinghamshire Police but Hertfordshire Constabulary have also been informed as the 17-year-old has links to Hertfordshire, and Stevenage in particular – where she could be heading.

Charley is white, slim, about 5ft 5in tall, and has long blonde straight hair. She was last seen wearing blue jeans, a black and white top with a bandana tied around her wrist, with brown boots and a blonde/brown wig under a hat.

A police spokesman said: “We are increasingly concerned for her welfare and keen for Charley, or anyone who has seen her, to get in touch. If you’ve seen Charley please call police on 101.”
