Police have said they have received some public responses regarding missing teenager Shelley Pratt.

Officers handed out posters in Croydon town centre on Saturday and Crystal Palace FC put an appeal up on the big screen during their match against Brighton to get help encourage pople to come forward.

Shelley Pratt, 14, was last seen at around 3.30pm on Thursday, November 8, after she got off a route 196 bus on Portland Road outside the Harris Academy.

After she got off the bus outside the Harris Academy she then started to walk south down Portland Road in the company of two or three other people.

There has been no confirmed sighting of her since.

A police spokesman said: “We continue to appeal for information on the whereabouts of missing 14 year old Shelly Pratt.

“As a result of media appeals, we have received some response from members of the public relating to sightings of Shelley.

“These responses are currently being followed up by the investigation team."

Last Friday, Shelley’s mother, Lisa Pratt, said she feared her daughter had been abducted.

She said: “I just want to know if she is safe. Is she sleeping, is she eating, has she got a spare change of clothes. It is just hard.

"My instinct tells me someone has got her and is not letting her go. My gut feeling is saying she has got herself into a situation which she can’t get out of it.

"She is loved and missed by her sisters and her brothers. She needs to come home."
