Police in Birmingham have issued a renewed and urgent appeal to the public as concerns intensify for a teenage girl who has been missing for over a week.
Growing Concern for Teenager's Welfare
Elizabeth, who is 16 years old, was last seen in Birmingham at approximately 5:30pm on Tuesday, December 9. Despite an initial missing person appeal launched by West Midlands Police that same evening, the schoolgirl has not yet been located. Authorities have now issued a second, urgent public appeal in the hope of generating new information that could lead to her safe return.
Description and Last Known Movements
When she was last seen, Elizabeth was wearing a distinctive outfit. This consisted of grey jogging bottoms, a grey hooded top, and a black puffer-style jacket. The black jacket features a notable yellow logo on the arm, which could be a key identifying feature for members of the public.
The force spokesperson reiterated the appeal, stating: "Have you seen Elizabeth? The 16-year-old is still missing from Birmingham. Elizabeth was last seen at 5.30pm on December 9 wearing grey jogging bottoms, grey hoody and black puffer jacket with yellow logo on arm."
How the Public Can Help
Officers are urging anyone with information, no matter how small it may seem, to come forward immediately. If you see Elizabeth, you should call 999 straight away, quoting the police reference log number 4751 of December 9. The community's vigilance is considered crucial in helping to find the missing teenager and ensure her welfare.
The continued absence of the 16-year-old, now spanning more than seven days, is causing significant alarm for both her family and the investigating officers. The police appeal underscores the seriousness of the situation and the pressing need for any potential sightings or information to be reported without delay.
