Police appeal to locate vulnerable missing teenager

Emma West, aged 16, is believed to have left her home in Huyton Church Road in Knowsley, and caught a train from Huyton train station at around 1.30pm.

Emma has links to Manchester, Blackpool, Southport and Wakefield and is known to travel around the North-west by train.

She is described as white, around 5ft 7ins tall, of slim build with black hair which she normally wears in a high bun. She has pale skin, green eyes and was wearing a dark grey hooded top, light grey tight-fitting gym pants and black Nike trainers which have a white heel.

Emma is regarded as vulnerable and officers are becoming increasingly concerned about her whereabouts.

Anyone who knows where Emma is now or may have seen her since she went missing is urged to call Merseyside Police on 101 or alternatively call the charity Missing People on 116 000 or email them on 116000@missingpeople.org.uk
