Police are appealing to the public for information on a girl who's been missing for over a week. Talailah, 14, was last seen on Thursday, April 25.

She was last seen leaving her home address in Hounslow. When she was last seen, she was wearing a grey zipper hoodie with grey leggings and pink Crocs.

PC Asim Raja said: “Following social media appeals, I am now further appealing to the public to assist us with enquiries to help find Talailah. Her young age makes her vulnerable, which is why it is so important that we find her.

"Talailah has been missing now for over a week, if you have seen her or know where she may be then it is important that you come forward to police by calling 101, ref 7571/25APR or for any immediate sightings dial 999.”

Hounslow Police previously appealed for information on social media. They shared a photo of Talailah on May 1 and appealed to the public for information.
