A 13-year-old Wimbledon girl who disappeared last Friday (May 25) is believed to have travelled to Poland.
Serena Alexander-Benson, 13, was last seen by her dad leaving their home in Wimbledon at around 7:50am that morning.
She had told her dad that she was going to school, but instead the last anyone saw of her was on a EuroTuneel train.
She had left the UK in Folkstone to board the train on her way to mainland Europe.
Serena was travelling in a car with a friend of her mums who is a Polish national who lives in London.
Met Police are working with the National Crime Agency and the Polish authorities to make sure she's safe.
A spokesperson from Met Police said: "Detectives are not releasing further details at this stage of the route Serena and the woman have taken, nor of how it has been established that they are in Poland, where Serena's mother lives.
"At this stage, the priority of officers is to confirm Serena's exact whereabouts and confirm that she is safe. Any potential offences will be considered in due course."
