Police are appealing for information about a 13-year-old girl missing since yesterday.

Tayanna Green was last seen by her mum leaving her home in SW16, at about 2pm, when she said she was going to see a friend in Tooting Bec.

It is understood she does not have any money or bank cards with her.

Police enquiries suggest she may be in the Lambeth area.

Tayanna is described as a light-skinned black girl, slim and between 5ft and 5ft 3ins with brown/black hair.

She was last seen wearing a black top, leopard-skin print leggings and black and silver Nike Air Jordan trainers.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Phil Blore, from Lambeth police, said: "Tayanna is just 13 years old and as time goes we become more concerned for her safety and welfare.

"Her disappearance is totally out of character and we would ask anyone with information or who sees Tayanna to please contact us as soon as possible."

Anyone who can help is asked to call Lambeth Missing Person's Unit on 020 8649 2113 or police on 101.
