POLICE are appealing for information following the disappearance of a teenage girl.

Chalie Carter, a 14-year-old from Greenock, was last seen at Paisley Gilmour Street station at around 7.45pm yesterday.

She is described as white, 5ft 4in tall, of slim build, with wavy fair hair, blue eyes and a nose piercing.

When last seen she was wearing a black jacket with a fur hood, a mustard crop top, blue jeans and white trainers.

Sergeant Laura Stewart, Greenock Police Office, said: “Charlie is only 14 years-old and her family are increasingly concerned the more time passes without hearing from her.

“She has gone missing before and is known to frequent the ‘four corners’ in Glasgow City Centre, Mosspark on the southside of Glasgow, and Port Glasgow. We are liaising with colleagues in Glasgow and BTP in an effort to trace her as well as checking CCTV.

“We have reason to believe she may have been travelling to Glasgow.

“Officers have been searching the local area and spoken with friends but so far no one has seen or heard from her."

Anyone with information about Charlie's possible whereabouts should call 101.
