Police are appealing for the public’s help in tracing a missing teenager who is believed to be in Stevenage.

Eleanor Comparetto, 15, was last seen eight days ago at her home in Harlow, Essex, but she has connections with Hertfordshire and is believed to be in Stevenage at this time.

She is described as white, 5ft 6in tall, with very long, straight brown hair.

She walks with a slight limp.

She often wears tracksuits and is believed to have black coat with fur on it and black Nike Hurrachi trainers with her.

Officers have been making enquiries but have so far been unable to trace her.

Anyone who has seen her or who knows where she is should call Herts police on the non-emergency number 101.
