West Midlands Police have issued an urgent appeal for help locating a 14-year-old girl who went missing from Solihull on Wednesday evening. Shaniye was last seen at 5pm on July 29, and officers are increasingly concerned for her welfare.
She was wearing a light blue tracksuit with grey and white trainers at the time of her disappearance. Police have released a photograph of Shaniye in the hope that someone recognises her.
