A 14-year-old girl has been missing since Tuesday.

Police are becoming increasingly concerned for the welfare of Kyra Baksh who went missing from her grandmother’s address in Seymour Road, Mitcham.

The teenager left the address at 1.30pm and said she was going to see a friend, although she did not say which friend. Her family have not heard from her since.

It is believed that Kyra may be in the areas around her mum’s address in Plough Lane Close, Wallington, her Grandmother’s address in Seymour Road Mitcham or her Dad’s address on the Hatfield Mead Estate, Morden.

She may be staying in the area around Durand Close, Carshalton, or with a friend called “George” in Hackbridge, although police have no information about this friend.

She is believed to have an Oyster Card for travelling. She also has a mobile phone but this has not been used for a week. She is thought to have had around £85 in cash when she left.

She was last seen wearing a red top and blue jeans. She has a brown shoulder bag and black hair described as frizzy and messy.

If you see Kyra, please contact police immediately on 999.
