POLICE are appealing for information after a teenage girl went missing from her Hampshire home.

Mary Mbatia, aged 15, was last seen at her home in Basingstoke shortly after 11pm last night and police are concerned about her whereabouts.

She is described as being black and of medium build and has long shoulder-length hair, and it is thought she may have travelled to London with an older black man.

A Hampshire Constabulary spokesman said: “Mary or anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to contact police by phoning 101.”
