Police are appealing for the public’s help in finding a missing 13-year-old girl from Croydon.

Kalia Bernard-Brent was last seen by her mother leaving her home near Purley Way at about 8.45pm yesterday (Tuesday, February 21).

She has not been seen or heard from since.

Kalia is described as a black girl, about five feet eight inches, of slim build, with black hair in buns.

She was last seen wearing a black puffa-style jacket, blue jeans and black and white Nike trainers.

Kalia is known to frequent Croydon, South Norwood, Streatham and Brixton.

Metropolitan Police officers are particularly concerned for her safety because her disappearance is out of character and she is without her mobile phone.

To offer information, call officers at Croydon on 101, or tweet @MetCC.
