POLICE are appealing for help to find a teenage girl from Bournemouth missing for more than two weeks.

Layla Mann, who is 16 years old, has been missing from Dorset since Thursday, May 26, and it is believed she is currently in the London area.

Layla is described as black, five feet nine inches tall and of stocky build with dark brown hair that has blonde highlights.

She sometimes wears glasses and was last seen wearing a pink shirt, blue jeans and grey suede trainers.

Inspector Andy Brix, of Dorset Police, said: “We have made numerous enquiries since Layla was reported missing, but have so far been unable to establish where exactly she has gone.

“We are very keen to hear if anyone has seen Layla or heard from her since 26 May 2022, but more importantly if anyone had contact with her since 7 June 2022.

“Due to the length of time that she has been missing and her age we want to ensure Layla is safe and well and therefore need to find her as soon as possible.”
