Police have launched an appeal to help find a missing 17-year-old girl from Croydon.

Sydnee has been missing since Tuesday, January 18 and has not been in contact with her family - which is very out of character.

Sydnee is described as 5ft 7ins, of slim build with long brown hair.

She has connections with Kingston, Surrey and the Thames Valley area.

Sydnee was last seen wearing a black sleeveless jacket, denim top and jogging bottoms.

Sydnee may be at risk of harm and anyone with information should contact police immediately.

Anyone with information should phone 101 and quote CAD 5583/18Jan.
