POLICE are appealing for help to find a missing Hampshire teenager.

Mia Lupton from Ryde on the Isle of Wight was last seen getting off a ferry in Southampton at 2.30pm this afternoon.

The 14-year old is described as white, 5ft 2ins, of slim build and has very long blonde hair, which has some pink colour in it.

She was last seen wearing grey or black trousers and a black puffa-style coat.

Police believe that she may have travelled to the Birmingham area but say that she could also be in Southampton or Eastleigh.

Inspector Rob Abel said: "We are growing increasingly concerned for Mia's safety the longer she is missing, so we would like to hear from anyone who thinks they may have seen her, or heard from her, since yesterday afternoon.

"We have had a great response from the public so far, helping to share our appeal.

"Mia, if you are reading this, please get in touch with either your family or us, so that we know that you are ok."

If you think you’ve seen Mia or have information about her whereabouts call 101 quoting reference 44170458126 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously.
